A blog for all things synchronized skating!
DISCLAIMER: I am a former synchro skater who is simply writing her opinions as a way of keeping up with the sport. It is not my intention to offend any team. If you disagree with anything I say, I'd love to hear your thoughts - but please remember that we are all entitled to our opinions!
I will never reveal what team(s) I skated for (I'm American, but that's all I'll give you). Even though I am no longer on a team, I wouldn't want to take the chance of anything reflecting poorly on my former teams and coaches.

When my coach explains a complicated drill

It’s May, almost June, which means SYNCHRO PRESEASON!!

Here’s a little anecdote that this made me think of:

I was trying out for a new team and the coach explained a choctaw drill. There were probably around 15 girls at this tryout and I happened to be first in line for the drill. Apparently the drill was supposed to go in a serpentine pattern but I didn’t pick up on that, so I started doing it in a straight line and then the coach had to come over and be like “No no no no.” And since I was the first in line everyone was watching and it was embarrassing. But I made the team so it’s okay!
