hi all
i'm 12, going on to 13 in a few months, and I just want to know what is a reasonable expectation for how far i can progress.
about 4-5 years ago, i started skating in LTS. a month or so before the pandemic, i passed freeskate 1 at my rink. then covid happened, and I stopped skating for 2 years. Now, I'm coming back, and my parents also realize that fs is a sport that i really want to do. so they agreed to get me a private coach (bc the rink stopped holding group lessons for freeskate 1+). for me at least, if i want to do something, i do it well. but because of that I set expectations quite high. I watched a video on youtube where the person said that they started skating at 12, and seriously at 13. by 15 they were working on 2A. Is this legitimately possible? if so, what about after doubles? is it possible to get some triples?
Also, what should I look for in a coach? bc i'm not sure where to start looking, and my mom says once u get a coach its hard to switch. does anyone know any good coaches in the bellevue/seattle, WA area? tysm
