Give yourself time too - it can take over 6 months to feel good about axel and another 6 to land it in a competition cleanly. For the harness, my kid's coaches don't use it until they have worked on a jump a long while and when it is on, they get 2-4 tries and it comes off and they work on it unassisted for the rest of the lesson. By limiting tries on the harness, they don't rely on it mentally - it is just to work on one part/error of the jump. Some coaches use the harness for over half the jump lesson. Everyone is different. Good luck!!!!
My coach made me do it myself at the beginning of the lesson . If I can't he'll put me in a harness. Then take it out and let me do it without. That's usually how it goes.
