I'm re-taking adult bronze moves in late June. My coach asked me if I wanted to also prepare a program for bronze free skate, but I'd rather just focus on the moves for now.
I'm really on the fence about moving up to bronze free skate. If I have a good day, I'm fairly confident I can pass the test. And there are more bronze skaters in our area than pre-bronze. But honestly, I'm worried about going from being middle of the pack in pre-bronze, to placing last in bronze competitions. U
nlike a lot of people, I don't really get motivated from placing last, just discouraged. Skating is the only physical activity I've ever found that I enjoy and am halfway decent at (at least, most other people can hardly skate at all, so my weak skills impress them), so placing last brings back a lot of doubts and bad memories from other sports.
