there’s a coworker at my rink who had all her doubles (not consistent) but we both quit for a really long time and i just restarted skating and pretty much got all my singles back in only a little under three months (working on making them better and consistent) and now i’m working on axel prep. and since we work at the rink, we get to skate for free as much as we want, which i definitely know contributed to my fast(er) progress than most because i skate almost every day. Anyways, she says she’s “as good as she’ll ever get” and if she wants to get any better, she’d have to learn triples. and i’m like...? so learn triples haha. we don’t have to pay for ice time and most of the coaches would give us discounted rates anyways but now she says she’s too old (she’s not, she’s only 21) and has been off the ice for too long. and she also said since she’s not a competitor there’s no point for her to really learn triples anyways, and idk, it made me really sad because i know there are so many people who would love and could only dream of learning triples and the opportunity for her is right there and she doesnt believe in herself enough.
personally, i’m just optimistic by nature and i think anyone can learn anything if they are dedicated enough but maybe that’s just my own naive mentality so i was wondering what many of you guys think?
