My confidence and fear with spins were something I could not break...always had the fear of falling and cracking my head open or break a bone, seriously! I always took the easy route; practice spins that I was good with (sit spins) and put the others on the back burner (forward scratch and back spins). But now that I have to gear up to test, I had to face the music and hit that backspin with a new perspective.
I've been back on the ice now for a good month consistently with lessons and with a new coach and I have to say that my skating has improved as well my spins. I finally got to skate my forward scratch spin with foot crossed, but as always it's a hit or miss.....much for improvement, it will get there.
Finally I found new confidence and it feels wonderful. My skating is a working progress, I will have my good days and bad....but most importantly, I will not give up on myself!!
