Sasha Cohen

Sasha Cohen’s star quality shines more brightly today than when she won Silver for the United States at the 2006 Olympic Games in Turin and her worldwide influence in fashion, exercise, nutrition and lifestyle is cutting-edge as she leads the way in promoting a healthy physical and mental daily regimen that stretches across all demographics. “I concentrate in living in the now,” Sasha says. It’s the same philosophy Sasha has lived with and the same values that continue to expand her fan, consumer and marketing base. Her time management skills allow her to keep what many would consider an exhaustive schedule. Sasha, now 25, took a respite from competitive skating after her second straight Olympics and U.S. National Championship, to visit avenues of life she had to detour during the intensive training required of an elite athlete competing for her sport’s highest honor.

Sasha’s post-competitive credits include movies, prime time television and commercials (Citizen, Got Milk? and Simply Saline). Roles have been written for her to take advantage of her actress/model beauty, her presentation and communication skills and the fame she wears modestly. She studied a semester at the renowned and intensive The New York Film Academy at Harvard and has taken speech and a variety of acting classes from some of Hollywood’s top coaches to learn the subtleties that make a good actress great. Scripts routinely arrive for Sasha’s perusal and reality shows frequently ask Sasha to participate. Project Runway, with Heidi Klum, was a big success when contestants were asked to make a skating dress for Sasha and other projects include a proposed show written around her.

Time constraints have proved to be the deciding factor in Sasha’s decision-making process that has limited her exploration of more TV and movie projects. USA Today in January featured Sasha in a full-page interview on her use of Yoga to maintain physical fitness and injury prevention in combination with its ways to enhance mental health. Typically for Sasha, she illustrated her strength, flexibility and concentration with a pose reserved for only the most successful practitioners of Yoga. She has been featured on magazine covers and in stories in Yoga magazines promoting its healthy benefits.

When Sasha tours with Stars on Ice the buzz she creates for her signature fashion designs is as highly anticipated as her sensational skating programs and music selection. Sasha has the sketches and dresses from all her competitions. Her one-of-a kind dresses are dynamic in style, fabric and colors and are unique to her sport. Sasha says she plans to delve into fashion designing is in the future. She is deluged with requests for reproductions or designs for skaters and similar designs for young women. World-renowned photographer Mario Sorrenti, who spotted Sasha skating at a rink in New York City, photographed her for the high-fashion French V magazine. Some of the photos were used in a Paris edition this year. Sasha has also been featured in Vogue and other international and national photo spreads.

Sasha is as much an ambassador for her charities as she is for her sport. She is active in promoting her charities and quietly embraces causes that impact on youth and families. When she is not skating in charity benefits and shows, like Silk's Skate for the Heart to benefit the American Heart Association, she could be on the ice with Make-a-Wish kids or Special Olympians. Sasha has given back to her community in many ways away from the ice as well. From donating autographed items for charity auctions to adopting an American soldier overseas, Sasha has used her accomplishments and fame to benefit others. Recognizing that young people are influenced by what they see in public, Sasha thrives on being a role model. Her autobiography “Fire On Ice”, published by HarperCollins, is a testament to Sasha’s disciplined lifestyle and unconditional family support. The book sold out of its hardback printing and a soft cover was in high demand well before its release date. Good things don’t just fall into Sasha’s lap. She makes good things happen. Sasha Cohen is in control of life and wouldn’t have it any other way.
