My skater is in a bottle neck. For her FS, her 2A takes forever. I even don’t bother to count how long time now. Her spins are ok. She can do those spins. But after some level, more practicing doesn’t seem to improve them much. She won some local competitions, but ranked at the bottom in regional when she tried it last time. For MIF, she has no much technical issue, but she was said to lack power and performance which needs time to build. Hence her coach expects it will still take quite time to pass gold test. She has been in club shows for several years. It’s fun, but not exciting anymore. Her close skating friends, either focuses on competing or sort of giving up to focus on school. Not sure whether it's related to lockdown, her progress last year was disappointing. Recently she especially has no motive. She likes skating but don’t know she can do. I feel like it’s similar to “mid-age crisis”: frustrated and lost. What goal is realistic and how can she cheer up and move on?
