I am an adult skater started just under a year ago. Landing axel (working with a qualified coach) at the moment with around 50% landing rate, the rest of the attempts are fully rotated by lead to me sitting down into them.
The issue is that in order to complete the jump I have to jump significantly higher that what is actually needed for a single. I remember when I worked it out it was 0.5seconds in the air vs 0.3 I actually need to rotate it. My coach wants me to now begin working on making the jump smaller and rotate quicker so that I can get it more consistent and get used to the feeling of snapping into rotation as he understands that is going to be a much more difficult skill to build for me. It is the feeling of actually rotating quickly and knowing that it is too small a height that I cannot adjust things if I feel they are off.
Is there any advice for getting over this mental hurdle?
