“A skater goes through a lot of different feelings during a competition. Staying calm is the key point. You feel a little anxious, a little nervous, a little unsettled. That's when you've got to trust your feelings, trust your abilities. Believe in what you have worked for so long to achieve. Have faith in yourself.” FeelsBelieveLittlesLongDifferentFeelingsAbilityAchieveKeysCompetitionCalmNervousStayingHave FaithAnxiousFigure SkatingFaith In YourselfSkaterHave Faith In YourselfDifferent Feelings Author:Elvis Stojko
“When you are relaxed, you can focus a lot more easily than when you are hyper and over-energetic. It's important to be "up" for a competition, but you shouldn't have too much energy, because you might not be able to control it. In competitions, it is important to be able to bring the power and energy you are feeling down to a level that you can control. This comes with practice and experience.” ImportantFeelingsMightAbleEnergyLevelsPracticeToo MuchFocusCompetitionRelaxedEnergeticFigure SkatingHyperFeeling Down Author:Elvis Stojko
