- Can adults become competitive figure skaters with no prior skating experience? In today's video I will be talking about the process of how adult skaters can become competitive figure skaters and even compete at U.S. Adult Nationals.
Hello! welcome to my channel if you are new. I am a competitive adult figure skater and skating coach that enjoys sharing tips, tricks, and all things skating related on my page including my own personal journey. I did not truly start learning how to skate until I was 18. I competed at my first ever competition when I was 21 and have continued ever since. I wanted to create a video explaining the general process and pass on some things I have learned over the past few years. There are adult skaters that have been involved in the sport way longer than I have and defiantly know more than I do. I am just sharing information I would've found extremely helpful when I was first starting to get involved with the sport. I will link a few helpful resources below!

I stopped pair skating at 18.
However, I always go on skating several days per year until I stop definitely.
I skated once more time 13 years ago.
5 or 6 months ago I have had a very strong desire to do it again.
I was really very happy exactly like younger.
First, I was like a beginner but I progressed very fast.
Unfortunately, I fell on ice and broke two malleolus. 🙊
I'm 67 and this time It will be wiser for me to stop for ever. 😢
Without this accident, I would have been able to skate several years more despite my age.
Fortunately, I will continue skiing.
Snow is soft, it's less dangerous for bones.
I was very happy to remember time I spent on ice younger.
I'm lucky. Accident happened two months before I go to visit USA and Canada. 👍
Beautiful ❤how old were you when you started. I just started back at 40 in June of this year. I just literally made it to adult basic 2 yesterday.
Hi! We’re on the same boat. I’m 41, started LTS Adult 1 in April and I’m currently in Adult Basic 2. Is competing a skating goal for you?
@@biancavalencia7241 Wow! Congratulations 🎊🎉 to you. Yes, competing is my goal. I actually have a private coach as well, and also cross training during this process. My first competition is in October, competing in my level which is Adult basic 2. How about you?
@@dr.natashadaniels7573 ohhh… I didn’t know anyone can compete at their current LTS level! I thought skaters have to complete Adult Basic 1-6 before competing. Good luck at your competition! 🥳
Right now, I’m just enjoying learning how to skate. I don’t have a coach. I’ve been doing yoga and off ice exercises to improve my balance because I still haven’t mastered one foot glides and stroking. I love forward slaloms and half swizzle pumps though!
Ty so much! This was Incredibly helpful! ❤
so helpful!
