Hello everyone,
I've been interested in figure skating for a very long time. I've attempted to learn but I've dealt with depression and anxiety that I could never be good enough, so I've never tried. I'm in college now, have a job, and considering it again. I know it would take a long time to become a professional, if at all possible at my age, and on top of it I have hip problems from being in a serious car accident last year..
I feel as though my dreams of becoming a figure skater and potentially a really good one has gone out the door for me..
Would it be possible to consider beginning skating and working at it to get good for people my age who have been skating since they were little kids? Or is my hip injury and doubt just the ticket to no success?
Thank you for reading this very depressing post.
