Hi! I'm 13 now and I'm going to get serious about figure skating. When I was 11, I dreamed of becoming an Olympic skater and I couldn't accept the fact that I would never make my dreams come true because it is simply too late for me. Now I know that I don't have to be a pro skater to get satisfaction from it. I just love this sport and it gives me honest and pure joy.
When I was younger, I took lessons with a coach for a few months, I have been skating since I was six, but it was never training, just a simple skating of a small child. However, it made me feel great on the ice, I have a good balance, I can do a few tricks, interweave back and forth and a fairly confident pirouette. I am not afraid of falls and I am ready for hard training. I train volleyball, so I have some strength, flexibility and explosive muscles. My vertical is fine too. I've been stretching a lot. Right now I can do about one and a half turns in the air. I used to do pole dance.
And here is my question - How much can I learn with a lot of commitment and love for skating? I emphasize that I know that I will not be an Olympic skater.
I have fairly good skates and save money for inline skates to exercise all year round several times a week outside the rink. I also plan to buy a spinner. There is an rink quite close to me, open for six months, where I would skate in a group with a coach 2-3 times a week for two hours every time.
What are realistic goals that I could achieve? Is there any chance that I will jump a triple someday?
Thanks for answers showing interest!
