Hello, so I had an injury and now its healed I have one more therapy session and I am done. My therapist said I can go back now. I am finally cleared it took almost 3 months but I am back now so I am so happy. Anways I am going to get new skates next week and I can't stop thinking about figure skating and everything. I just want to get back on the ice. I fell in love with this sport and I have just been doing off ice for now but I am getting antsy and really want to go back on the ice. It's just really tough right now. So I feel really down right now because waiting a another week feels so long and I just want the ice so bad. I don't know what to do. Like I have tennis on Friday but other than that I want the ice because its all I can think about.
Also when did you guys start your skating journey. I started when I was 15 and now 16. I watched the olympics and asked my parents to skate. They were a bit hestitant but signed me up learn to skate and in just less than 3 months was in basic 3. Now I do privates and I am starting my beginner jumps and doing the preprimnary skating skills. I love skating and want to conintue until I can't anymore.
Another question how do you feel about the people who ask about skating advice but say they are self teach. I saw a tiktok video where a skater said she self taught herself a salcow and I commented that you should get a coach because she had very bad technigue and she was laughing and saying I am not going get injured and saying she has no bad technique because she watches youtube but you can see she does. I mean I know the sport is expenisve but most of us always say to start in a learn to skate or something equivilant to it if in another country because its cheaper and the comments did say you don't need private lessons. I understand not everyone can get a private but how can we get more access to this sport like people who can't afford privates but want to start competions and all that fun stuff.
I just wanted to vent and just get to know other skaters here.
