Decisions, Decisions

Been debating and it all comes down to "decisions, decisions"...making the decision whether or not to test March 12th.  All my skating peeps encourage me and know my abilities. This means so much to me and always appreciate their advice....they all think that I should go for it!!

Well??
After last weeks competition, I had some time to think and discussed it with my coach - test session is coming up in 2 weeks (YIKES).  However, I do have some reservations, and my coach feels - it is best that I should test my free skate in May which gives me much more time to practice and focus on my weakest elements (SPINS, I hate them) and put out a nice clean program that the judges will appreciate.

In all honesty, there is no rush for me to test, because I really want to compete at ADULT NATIONALS 2018....and deep down....."Diana, when you are ready, you will test for you and nobody else"

 So, the decision....is to test in May!!  These are decisions, all skaters have to face and/or ask themselves.  It's all part of the sport and we all have family, personal lives that have more priority.  Ice will always be there waiting for us!!
HAPPY SKATING

    I didn't know you were a blogger! Awesome. This is a great blog. And IMHO you made a terrific decision to wait for testing. You are correct in your mantra "test for you and no one else". Go for it!

      Thank you for reading AnneMarie, I've been blogging since 2011. When I had another skater bully me - a reason why I started the Adult Figure Skating Forum. I love to blog and share my thoughts, experience as an adult skater.
      It is hard and making decisions for the right reasons.
