I'm new to the world of competitive figure skating. My daughter truly loves to skate, so I want to make sure I support her in achieving her goals to the best of her abilities. She is 8 and has been skating a little over a year. She's somewhere in the middle free skate levels. She has her singles through a flip and seems to have natural aptitude for the sport. She'd of course love to make it to nationals some day and says her long term goal is to be able to compete with a double axel. My question is what would it take for an eight year old to progress from where she is now to the point where she'd be competitive say at the regional level in juveniles in the next 3-4 years assuming sufficient though not Olympic-level talent. Is this at all realistic? How many hours would she need to train a week to even have a shot?
