Crossover Drill, 3s
My lesson with JJ on the 7:30 a.m. FS at Gilbert. This session is definitely busier now that school is out, but it was still just 9 or 10 skaters and maybe 7 coaches so busy but productive.
Today's lesson:
Today's lesson:
- crossover drill -- ugh. I am experiencing a total failure of nerve on these and I don't know why. We literally spent like 10 minutes with me trying to get myself to actually do one. What a waste of lesson time. I'm really mad at myself and I don't know how to fix this.
- 3s -- we started working on these in the context of Bronze power-3s but moved on to just working on 3s since I'm kinda tired of them being so forced and awkward and dinner-for-free (i.e. "no check"). Grrr. We worked on them a bunch. I did like one that was relatively okay, the rest were pretty much the usual crap.
As you can tell, I am kinda frustrated with my skating right now. I'm slow, I'm timid, and the things that I do actually do are usually rushed or forced. Grrr.

Try to relax a little. I've started to approach my practice sessions with the mindset of, "What happens, happens, and just keep going." The result was that I felt a lot better about everything, and the positivity alone has been of tremendous value.
You and me, we're together on spins! I just can't get it. Some days they work and some days they don't... and I just keep plugging away at it. It's been a year... lol. We'll get there. :)

Thanks!
Yes... unfortunately, relaxing has never been a strong point in my life, in pretty much any context. But the progress on spins has been pretty much when I've been able to relax a bit.
