Okay I really need to do these updates like a day max after the session but uh 😭 honestly I’m just going through a lot and even simple things feel overwhelming so.

New skill unlocked: Mohawks

I only practiced them a bit before and another coach gave me some good advice but I also practiced it with my regular coach during a priv lesson and she said spread eagles help. And I can do spread eagle going to the right but not the left but eventually I managed the left? And this Mohawks unlocked which I was happy about but I defo didn’t get the Euphoria I got with three turns.

Anw I’m practicing my inside three turns and we’ll. not going well but we persist

Feels like my spins have regressed :/ need to go back to doing off ice exercises I think that might be key . And also wearing two pairs of socks maybe..

Idk it feels like I’m not making much progress. I had 2h, and like maybe it’s bad cuz I was really tired and it’s like u practice with bad form that gets ingrained into muscle memory

But I try to cram as much as I can cuz I can only go once per week

Im trying to conserve energy the days I go and like not do errands the same day but yeah. And I try to pace myself but yeah.

Anw back to 1.5 h cuz my private lessons aren’t consistent so it’ll be better

Also I go in Mondays which is like. I don’t sleep well so I’m already sleep deprived yk?

Anw I think it’s time to get new skates I feel like they might be hindering me. My coach said to keep them until I’m ready to jump again (knee issues) cuz getting new skates now might do more harm in the long run. Ig she mean wrt to knee? But tbh from all my searches I’m not supposed to be jumping in them really although another girl at my rink jumps just fine in them but she skated as an adult and the guy that sold them to me said he knew a guy who did axels in them lol? My coach also said they’re good boots Idk ig they’re fine for small jumps but I don’t feel supported at all .. maybe it’s just me blaming the equipment haha and when I upgrade I’ll still be at the same level hahaha

Which reminds me there are hops we do on two feet and a version where u tap ur boots together in the air when u do it. I’ve never been brave enough to try before but I went to the barrier and tried it and dang it was so loud and the impact of my boots hitting the ice literally reverberated all the way to my skull

Which made me think again these boots are not supportive cuz I went online and found some others that were like: shock absorptive heel and like yeah!! Some shock absorption might be nice!!

I mean I fell on crossovers but I kept jumping after that like an idiot and I dread to think what that did to my knee cuz the shock absorption. Is. Defo not there

Well they are recreational boots 😭 idk why they recommend them tbh especially for adults

I think I already told the story of me wanting to go back and exchange but yeah . ANW

Uhhh that’s it spiral on my bad side wasn’t working well and backwards spin I managed two rev before and now nth.

I feel like I can get slightly lower in duck position tho.
