Okay, so I'm having a BIG problem. Figure skating friend help :)?
Hey! So, I'm having a problem. You see I've been in figure skating lessons when I was around 7 and I have been skating since I was three. I quit when I was around 11 and now I'm starting up again and have been in lessons for a while trying to regain all the muscle memory that I lost. Ice skating is my pion, I practice off-ice jumps and spins (on my spinner) everyday, and I also stretch most everyday. Here comes the problem; a bunch of my friends (3 to be exact - and probably more will want to join) all want to join figure skatingg. That's fine with me, but I'm worried that they will get better then me with out having as much drive and pion as I do. I guess I'm sort of jealous or mad, that they think they could just buy 20 dollar skates and automatically go to the olympics (obviously anexaggerationn). Now, people reading who are reading this are probably going to be like "well, get over it, you can't control them, they have the right to the sport as much as you do". I thought this before, when I was reading a question that the basis of the situation was oddly similar - this was before anyone even had the idea to join. I'm just really afraid that they will become better than me, especially since my parents budgeted the cost of my skating to over $2000, and my friends think that they can just automatically get by with cheap recreational skates. Mind you, it probablyisn'tt the most budget friendly sport for them, but it's not like its any easier for me. So basically (hahaha, after all that droning on and on, finally my question comes) do you think that they will become better than me? (I asked this question to my parents, and they said that none of my friends show the same pion as I do) Note; One of my friends already joined and is in delta (isi) - that was a big step for me to even except her joining. The rest of my friends would probably be starting in alpha (isi). Do you think they will catch up to me? (I'm just about in freestyle four, btw I know that this isn't very high, haha, but still, I only re-joined in October) I already have my salchow, toe-loop, waltz jump, half jumps, change foot spin, and I'm working on my loop basically and scratch spin. Thanks for listening to me drone on and on and thanks for your help! :)
