3/24

I just got home from practice and I'm bushed, absolutely exhausted. I think Anna had me do fifteen Waltz jumps
in a row. I don't understand why, but my body doesn't seem to want to let me jump, something is holding me back and it's not even like I'm afrai to fall.. I mean once you see my knees it's like 'wow, she must be pretty use to eating ice'
When I reflect on my issues with jumping I cannot for the life of me figure out why I'm having so much trouble, I visualize and practice and I don't feel like anything is specifically holding me back, but there must be something there..I hope I can figure it out!
I have been practicing the jump on land too, but I'm really trying to perfect it for the showcase!!
I'm starting to get nervous, but I know as long as I do my best, that's all that matters right?
I also learned a 'falling leaf' jump or step, it's like a bunny hop, but from a backwards crossover.
I goof around on the ice a lot and my coach LOVES it so in my routine I get to dance and it really shows my personality.
I am loving skating, bruised knees in all
