✨ How to Practice! ✨

Stuck in a rut? Losing some motivation? SAVE ‼️ these tips to maximize your practice sessions and grow as a skater.

1. Arrive with a game plan - What skills will you practice today? Choose by assessing what is most important and what needs the most practice depending on your upcoming goals. A written checklist is also visual and helpful.

2. Divide practice time up - How long are you skating for? For example: Splitting up time evenly between skating skills, jumps, and spins. Or skating skills, program elements, and sections/run throughs.

3. Walkthroughs and repetitions - Break down the element. Specific drills for that element. Repeat.

4. Journal - What did you practice and learn? Why did you fall or stumble?

5. Review your notes and plan for the next practice session!

Figure Skaters! POV: 1st person brackets ✨

During bracket turns, the blade turns outside of the circle. We stay on the same curve while changing edge and direction. Figure out blade pressure, hip alignment, and a checked upper & lower body position to maintain edge quality. I like to introduce brackets on 2 feet first. Also, look at your tracings after turning to check for subcurves.

✨ Figure Skating Moves! Choctaws / S-Step ✨

The most difficult step in my opinion! 🤪

Figure skating coach tips: Prep and move your shoulders before you step to help with the exit edge! Also, bend as you step again. Lastly, be familiar with all of your figure skating turn tracings.

✨ Hip stretches for figure skaters! ✨

Stretch those hips! For better turns, jumps, and spins. They tend to get tight in figure skaters, resulting in tightness, pain, weakness, instability, & more.

⛸️ Hip flexor stretch - Start in a push up position then place your foot next to your hand. Drop to your forearms for a deeper stretch.
⛸️ Pigeon pose - Bend your front knee (90 degrees advanced, 45 degrees or less beginner). Lower the upper body to feel a stretch, drop to the forearms for a deeper stretch.

✨ Figure Skater Walley Jump! ✨

SAVE this for your next off ice session!

Think of it as a loop jump taking off of an inside edge

⛸️ Takeoff - Practice jumping from the inside to outside edge
⛸️ Half rotation - Time your upper and lower body. Try to land on 2 feet then switch to a 1 foot landing.
⛸️ Go for the walley!

Comment or DM “jump” for more of my favorite jump drills like this goodie.
