Help! How can I improve my speed, power, and confidence in figure skating?
i've been skating 2 years (i started in 30s), , i've been making steady progress, under fantastic coach. also, felt rather skating, until today. today, first time, videotaped myself figure skating, , shocked when watched afterward. feels fast , lot of effort me out there on ice, including crossovers, turns, spins, , jumps, far worse thought. technique correct, speed slower thought, jumps tinier, , posture kind of implies i'm afraid of ice/falling (i clumsy). normal @ stage in skating? improve on time? or can adult skaters never achieve same confident on ice skaters have who've been skating lives? perhaps there exercises improve speed , appearance on ice, , rid of subconscious fear? skate daily, i've been doing weights strength , off-ice jumping plus little cardio, apparently, hasn't helped far. @ point, i'm considering quitting skating. appreciate input. much.
