McRae acknowledged that her father tried for years to teach her how to skate, but without success, even though she had always had a skating rink in her backyard. With a laugh, she narrated,
“My dad has been trying to train me how to skate for so many years. We had a skating rink in our backyard my whole life and I never got the hang of it. My brother was just skating laps around me.”

Although McRae freely acknowledged this, it does not appear that her first experience on the rink inspired her to become an avid hockey player,
“I was so busy with dancing and music that I didn’t make it out to too many games, but I have lots of memories of me just running around the rink at my brother’s hockey games.”

The topic of her Canadian upbringing and its influence on her personality came up next. When questioned about whether her upbringing among amiable Canadians affected who she is, McRae responded,
“One hundred percent. I think the way that we’re raised, especially where I’m from, is just treating people with kindness. [There are] specific manners that are in my blood.”Tate McRae added,
“It is interesting, sometimes, going other places. I feel like I don’t notice it very much, but people always say, ‘You guys are so polite and respectful!’ I guess that’s a good thing.”
