We consider the quantum mechanics of the SU(2) skyrmion model in the framework of collective-coordinate quantization. We treat the Lagrangean quantum-mechanically from the beginning. A new mass term with negative sign appears, which may play an important role in stabilizing the rotating chiral soliton.
