We worked hard over the weekend and I was anxious to see the results. I was crossing whatever that I could, hoping that the hard work amounts to something. Tired leh.
Lil Shauna had 2 days of full ice lesson, back to back. It was a mad rush to reach the Rink and be ready by 7.30pm. On both days, she had the opportunity to do her program with music a few times. She needed them.
I am so pleased that she has improved. Then again, the last full ice lesson was so lousy that she can only be better. Coach Raymond said that too but also that she still has loads to improve. I cannot agree more. Unfortunately, we have no time. Sob. I cannot tell what exactly is wrong but she looks lethargic when she actually works hard. Maybe her strokes still arent strong enough. Of course she can raise her leg higher when landing, jump higher, go down further on her pancake spin.... whatever... she just needed to try her best. At least she is decent enough to be on ice now and she doesnt pant like mad at the end of her program. The treadmill helps? Hehe.
I really have to give it to these kids actually. On both days that we were there, the rink was littered with other young skaters. I believed many of them are regulars, like night classes/ practices a few times a week.
Right after we were done on Wednesday night, the speed skaters kids took over the rink. I wonder how late they will work into the night and school resumes early the next morning.
Bigger kudos to the parents, who not only accompany their kids to these classes and practices but paid for these expensive lessons. The speed skaters' parents also had to help cushion the rink side by skating heavy thick cushions on and off the ice. Well, I guess I wouldnt mind if Lil Shauna is indeed so good in her skating one day...
