When you're bored in class so you start running one of your numbers in your head

It is said that figure skating requires the elegance of a royal court, the grace of a ballerina, the speed of a sprinter, the balance of a tightrope walker, the agility of a high diver, the endurance of a marathon runner, the coordination of a juggler, strength of a high jumper, the rhythm of a dancer, and the performance of a mime. Add that all to the unison of the Rockettes, the uniformity of a synchronized swimming team, and the teamwork of soccer players, and you’ve got synchronized skating.

It harder than it looks. Figure skaters say it's just 'stroking, chasses & three turns' but they don't know that it is SO SO SOOO much more than that.

When it's an early morning practice and the coach asks you a question about what edges you should be on and at what time

Taking your feet out of your skates and being happily surprised that you have regained feeling in your toes

[schedulea]

“Skating. It’s the feeling you get at the end of a hard practice when you know you pushed yourself to the limit. It’s a part of your identity; something you love and also something you hate. And every time you get out on the ice, it isn’t just you skating - it’s all the friends and coaches you’ve had over the years, all the practices, all the sweat, all the laughter, all the rough competitions, all the personal bests, all the memories. It’s more than just a sport - it’s an integral piece of you.”

When a figure skater joins your team

Coaches : YESS!!! Someone to do cool stuff in the creative!

Team : Finally someone who can actually do good spins & jumps!

Coaches : *To figure skater* Okay, so you're going to do a double toe loop in that corner, go around here and there do a camel spin, into sit spin, then a Y - Spin

Coaches : *To rest of the team* So do a chasse, lunge, push, step cross, spiral.
