In this video, we sit in on an axel lesson with Olympic coach Michelle Leigh. This is a great follow-up the Michelle Leigh axel video.

Add to “My Favorites” (Beta testing)Donna (again!) I used ALL of your advise/tips in the last few days with a little skater of mine and the results are AMAZING! Has it changed my life?…..no…..has it COMPLETELY changed the way I approach teaching the axel?…..YES! YES! YES! I got her very comfortable up to the point of take off with all the body parts (like you explained) in the correct position, then I lifted her up (like Nick Perna suggests for the loop/flip). Did this a few times and when she tried it on her own I was blown away at how quickly she picked up on “feel” of getting over her right foot to rotate. Of course, still not around all the way but the jump has beautiful direction and is well on its way. I’m so excited about it. Thanks!
Thank you Michelle. I just learned so much about the true placement to the free leg on this jump. Very clear and easy to understand!
Great video – thanks so much!
Love it!! I find Michelle’s teaching style and videos so jam packed full of ideas. Really enjoyed watching her work with a skater during a lesson. Great mentoring.
