My skater is frustrated with double salchow and double toe loop. No progress for loooo.....ng time.

Any type of off ice practice will help?

Some jumps just take way longer than others. Tell them not to get frustrated and keep at it.

already 2 years!

It takes some longer than that. Don't push it thinking it should be accomplished by now.

Maybe concentrate on other jumps and go back to it. Something might 'click' at that point.

Good luck on doubles, and make sure s/he doesn't get deterred! There were many more talented skaters who trained with me but quit because they were bored with not making progress or started to dislike the sport or got stuck in a rut. This is a game of mental strength to who quits and who keeps going to reach their maximum potential.

Oh, that is so true!
