My Double Axel Journey

Hi this is Diana.
So it took me overall a year and 2 months to land my double axle. I made this video to show you to never give up. At the beginning of this video in June 2016, you can see how bad and painful my double axels were. I wanted to give up many times during that year and two months but with the support of my friends and family I eventually landed it!
•
Also I had struggled with anxiety during that year and so it made it difficult for me to continue but I eventually did. I would move past my anxiety attacks and just work on my jump. However long it takes you to land your jump, just know that eventually if you work hard enough you will!

You can actually see the progress! Congrats! I'm still working on mine, any tips for off-ice exercises?

@liannazee9464 6 жыл бұрын

P.S. are u from the UGL region? Because I think I'm one of your competitors! I recognize your dress!

@dianafreeman9897 6 жыл бұрын

yeah I'm from UGL, some off-ice exercises that are good are one footed box jumps and of course off ice double axels.

How many coaches did work with to get it?

Congratulations! I admire your dedication and encourage me to keep working on my 2S since I’ve been feeling frustrated lately!

Well done. It's a hard jump to get but when you do, what a relief. Keep up the good work 😊

Hey, any tips for mental blocks? I seem to get scared of falling over. However, I attempt it in the harness with my coach and he doesn't lift me and I land it every time. I basically already have it, but something's stopping me from attempting it without him there. Any help? Thanks!!!

@dianafreeman9897 5 жыл бұрын

Hi I had this problem too, mental blocks are really annoying but one way that helped me get over mine was imagining in my mind me doing a double axel and landing it. You also just have to be confident and not overthink the jump. Try telling yourself that you can land it and that you will land it. Hope this helped!

Thank you so much! I've been attempting it for about 3 months now and I'm getting really close, but it's just that barrier that's stopping me. Thanks for the tips!!!

Also try to get into a jump quicker and without any doubt, maybe change entrace, add some steps to distract you from the jump. It will prevent you from thinking too much before jumping and make you just go for it

Before doing big jumps I like to just tell myself " its too late to bail now"

Congrats! Great job everyone should keep trying NEVER give up! My Daughter still in the progress. So excited for you. Thank you for the video. :)

Congrats what a huge accomplishment! A lot of bruises along the way. When people see it on tv they have no idea the falls that we’re put in to finally get the big jumps

The good thing about the video was that when you fell, you got back up like it didn’t happen!

My coach says that I shouldn't be scared of falling since that what makes me or us learned and that's part of the process. So, those people out there who's afraid of falling over, just think that it'll be worth it and dude it's part of the process. We got this!

How do u rotate fast it is hard for me I have good air time and high jumps but not they very fastest

@dianafreeman9897 5 жыл бұрын

Madison Xaphakdy well I’m kind of short so I guess that helps but I do a lot of off ice jumps and double loops off of back scratches so that usually helps me rotate a little faster

i have a question! i am currently working on my double axel and want to try combos on doubles. how do i put my arms up on the combos without falling? i am not very good with combos

@dianafreeman9897 3 жыл бұрын

My advice is to maybe work on it off-ice first to get comfortable with it, then just really work on keeping your arms as tight to your body as possible. I hope that helps!

I am finally just landing my axel clean on ice every time, and I am landing a double axel clean off ice but I am to much of a chicken to do it on ice.
