Hello!
I have recently become concerned about my difficulties with turning out my feet on ice. My line of thinking was that since I have no problem with it off ice, it wouldn't be a huge obstacle while on ice and some diligent practice would solve the issue. But when I'm on ice, I'll turn one foot out fine and when I try and turn out the other, my first foot turns inward. Is this a common problem? I think it's impacting my ability to do mohawks, and I would like to work up to spread eagles one day since my coach says I have the hips for it. I'm not sure if there's a better way to go about practicing or if I just need to put in the hours and wait for gradual improvement.
Any insight would be appreciated!
