Hi all!
I am a brand new adult skater (32 years old). I started skating about 2 months ago and took an adult learn to skate class. I would say I'm at about the adult 5/6 level of the USFS learn to skate curriculum. Anyway, I can't attend the next learn to skate class session because of my schedule, so I am going to start taking private lessons a few times a month with a coach at my rink who works primarily with adults.
I'm excited but a bit nervous and I guess I don't really know the protocol of how it all works! I will only be able to take a lesson 2-3x a month - is that still enough to learn and make progress? Am I too much of a beginner to be wasting my money on this?
Will the coach have sort of a "plan" of skills to teach me, or will she expect me to tell her what to work on? Like should I prepare a list of things I want to work on?
Payment - I know I pay the coach directly for the lesson (which seems so awkward). Is there some kind of...protocol for this?!
My first lesson is tomorrow and I'm getting more nervous! Worried I won't be able to do anything because someone will be "watching" me the whole time, if that makes sense!
Thanks for any suggestions!
