Hi! I'm 14 and have been teaching myself to figure skate for about a year now. I've made alright progress, but certainly not what I could achieve with a coach. But due to the fact that I fell in love with one of the most expensive sports out there, it's just not possible for me to take proper lessons. However I'm lucky enough to get to skate once a week for 2 hours and I intend to keep making the most of that. That being said, got any tips or advice for learning on my own? I'm currently around a usfsa basic level 5 for reference. And also, I'm not the most fit person in the world by far, so what would you say are the most important things to strengthen up?
My apologies, I'm quite scatterbrained, but one more thing. My spins? Absolutely terrible. I can't seem to keep my balance even with two feet and I always end up shifting my position a bit and falling out of it. Am I doing something wrong?
~ thank you !!
