Hey! I've been spending a lot of time recently wondering if I should return to figure skating. For background, I skated previously for about 3 years a couple of competitions and shows. This was probably stupid, but I made it my whole personality and even started a YouTube channel. I don't want this to be too long so I won't go into the circumstances that lead me to quit but to make it short: my coaches got fired,when to a new rink,I went with them, I was skating more making friends, doing new classes and progressing much faster. Everything was great until my parents (understandably) Decided they didn't want to drive two hours to the rink twice a week.But anyway I really miss skating but idk if I should go back. I would have to find a new coach which scares me. But the main reason is because I'm not sure it's worth it. I can only skates one or two times a week because that's all my parents are willing to commit to. I want to land my axel and doubles and be able to do cool spins,and I don't think twice a week is enough. And although money isn't really and issue,its a lot of money to spend if I'm just going to end up being unhappy.At the end of the day I love skating and miss a lot but I don't want to waste time and money and not see progress. I just don't really know what to do and could use some advice from anyone whose been in a similar situation![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
