I am currently working on consistent single sal, toe and loops while still learning the flip over the whole year. For spins, I used almost 3-4 years mastering the scratch spin which is ridiculous to me. Well now you could say I'm pretty good at it. My sit spin is coming together and started to learn the backspin and camel spin. I started skating when I was 7 and I am now nearly 14, which means I've been skating for 7 years but am still on freestyle 3 ISI. For the past couple of months i made little to no progress and I came here to find out why. I only skate an hour a week on ice (with a coach) and 30 minutes off ice which occurs to me that perhaps this could be the main problem as I barely get practice time with managing school work. The past 2-3 years I've lost the passion and just didn't really care about the sport anymore. i didn't care that I didn't make progress and I genuinely wanted to quit but my parents were stopping me and I knew it wouldn't be the same without skating so I just pushed through doing the same repetitive lesson every week. However, after the lockdown for 2-3 months this year I had found the love for the sport again and wants to improve as much as i can. Everyone that used to be on the same level as me are off doing axels and doubles now when I'm still here doing waltz, sal, toe and loops with barely any height. People who were on a lower level than me are now on the same level as me too. I feel guilty how I'm making so little progress for the past 7 years.
We put school before any hobbies or sports so I don't think I will be able to go to the rink for more than once a week. I'm thinking whether I am naturally bad at the sport or I didn't care about it for a few years or that I don't practice enough.
If anyone has any idea, please let me know. Anything would be helpful. Thank you!
