Drawing the lines in order to give a visual of the skater’s axis really helps. I was watching the shoulders of both skaters and saw a difference between the two. I describe to my students a brand new peanut butter jar and how it is hard to get it open w/ one hand….the lid moves w/ the jar. All I have to do is say ‘peanut butter jar’ and my skaters know that they rotated their shoulders before their take off and that they need to rotate the shoulders and hips together. It works!!!

Thank you, Chris. Seeing this and hearing your narrative really helped me put things together from my past experiences with the Grassroots to Champions seminars.

I have a student that needs to see this analysis and I know this will help him out because he will see and hear the same things I say to him now from you. Thanks so much:)

the way I tend to teach jumps I think would help this skater. One of the major issues with jumps are the placement of the left shoulder. On this jump the left shoulder is going around before the body is. This is also how skaters get started with wrapped double/triple loops. The left shoulder has to stay in front from the entrance of the jump through the landing. If the skater is standing “square” ( hips and shoulders make a box ) the left shoulder should be where the sternam was when standing square. Having the shoulder in front helps to keep the shoulders strait during the jump as well as keeping them from over rotating the jump. All of my students are taught to jump with the left shoulder in front ( left handed skaters jump with right shoulder in front ) Teaching this from the very start makes jumping so much easier for students once they get past lutz.
