Idk Shoma has always been extremely critic with himself and humble about his abilities to a fault (even if he has improved a bit in that tbh compared to even a few years ago) and it is a double edge sword. On one hand that's why he has worked so hard and improved so much in such a short period of time, but on the other hand it does lead to lack of confidence.
I guess i agree skating clean should have boosted his confidence but if it hasn't then it hasn't and he has to find ways that work for him to boost said confidence. How many times has he said when he skated well that it was just by chance? That's just who he is...
He also wants to focus on artistry and the other elements of the program...
Yes, that's why I think Fluffy & Yamada need to built him up. Tell him he can do it, if he's not showing confidence. Idk, let's wait until SC and see what happens. I just want him confident and strong and not doubting himself. Because what do you think leads to a faulty program? Confidence or self-doubt? Me, I think it's the latter. I think Nathan Chen oozed confidence at Rostelecom. I hope that Shoma will show this too, next week!
Hints?
