Hello Olympic Skaters... |
|
This is a reminder...
Keep a journal... write
in it... what you are doing at home, if you did
nothing write "you did nothing"! Grade your self on
how you feel you did that day, be honest with
yourself. How did you feel that day? Were you tried,
did you feel sick, did you feel great, etc... Did you sleep
the night before, for how long? What did you eat?
Did you drink soda? Maybe there is a correlation between
what you ate/drank and how you performed? Write it
down! |
| |
| Inline Speed Skating is the best
exercise for Inline Speed Skating, but when we are not here
at the rink practicing... |
|
The things we want you to be doing at home: |
| (Preferably
Tuesdays, Thursdays, and "practice days" we can't have
practice due to private parties and such) |
| IN
Sneakers |
| |
- Skaters position (Holly's way - "hand up") NO
Cheating!!!! It won't help you if you do not do it
correctly!
|
| |
- Horizontal walks (reach when you step and commit -
nose, knee, toe - face shoulders, knees toes should all
face forward as to step to the left) (do it SLOWLY
and CORRECTLY!)
|
| |
- One leg squats ( slow and deep, bend your knees not
your waist)
|
| Beginner
Starts - in sneakers |
| |
- Practice the three leg start set position. Work on
your balance.
|
|
| |
When you can balance correctly and hold
it... Practice your three leg start |
|
| |
From the three leg set practice
throwing the back leg forward |
|
| |
Make sure when your foot lands
it lands with the toes pointing out... not foreword (Duck
walk, remember?) |
|
| |
When you throw that foot
remember to reach with it! |
|
| |
Each time you do
it, try to reach further... set goals on where you want to
reach to. a mark on the floor a line a pylon, anything. |
