The waltz jump is an introductory jump, it’s the easiest because it’s only half a revolution in the air. You’re basically just turning around from forward to backwards via a jump. An axel, while also entered from forward, is a full revolution and then an extra half revolution to land backwards. It’s the hardest of all the single jumps because it’s technically not even a single as it’s got 1.5 revs, the same way a waltz isn’t a single because it’s only 0.5 revs.

Warm up, edges, then I practice whatever I was struggling with in my last lesson, afterwards I’ll do spins and jumps (order depends on the day) then I end with drills/cardio stuff like swizzle laps, pump laps, edge pulls and the test patterns. I normally then go for a twizzle sesh at the very very end before I hop off and do a cool down 

Good luck

I don’t even know if it’s my turn, but here is a double flip! Anyone who wants to go next, can I guess.

Is there anyway you could use public transport to get to the rink? maybe it would show your mum that you’re really passionate and she might ease up. Good luck.

The more you practice, the less afraid you will be. Good luck.

If you look down, you’re more likely to fall because you can’t see where you’re going, you can’t see other skaters and your weight is dropping forward with your head. If you keep your head up, it lifts your whole body up and it will help you to feel more secure. Good luck!

At that age it’s definitely achievable if you have doubles and if your coach is talking about triples then they probably believe it’s in your path. It’ll be up to your coach when they think you’re ready, and if they think it’s possible. From the sounds of thing its possible but again it will be up to your coach
