⛸️ What Your RRFSC Coach Wishes You Knew About… PRACTICING! ⛸️
We’re back with another installment of our series from Skating Director & Coach Katie! 🎀
As coaches, we hear these questions all the time:
💭 “I don’t know what to practice on my own!”
💭 “Why am I/my child not improving as quickly as I’d like?”
💭 “Why am I/my child not placing as well as I’d like at competition?”
One of the biggest differences we see in skater progress? Quality practice time! ✨
Practice isn’t just about getting more time on the ice—it’s about using that time intentionally. Having a plan, working on the skills your coach has assigned, repeating things correctly, and challenging yourself appropriately can make a HUGE difference in your progress.
📋 Check out today’s graphic for an example of how to structure your practice time, from warm-up and skating skills to jumps, spins, program practice, and special skills.
And remember: you don’t have to know exactly what to do on your own! If you’re unsure how to structure your practice or what you should be working on, ASK YOUR COACH! We want to help you make the most of every minute on the ice. ❤️
🍂 AND… IT’S OCTOBER PRACTICE INCENTIVE TIME! 🍂
This month, we’re challenging our skaters to get out there and practice!
🌳 For every 30 minutes of practice outside of a lesson or group class, put your name on a leaf and add it to our October Practice Tree in the rink!
🍁 The more you practice, the fuller our tree gets!
And there’s a little extra incentive… 👀
🏆 Two winners will EACH receive a signed Stars on Ice cast poster + a $25 Lululemon gift card!
So grab your skates, make a plan, and let’s fill that tree! 🌳⛸️🍂
Practice makes progress! ❤️
❤️🌹 with love… your Red Rose Figure Skating Club Coaches
