I started at 10 and now I can do waltz jumps and salchows and this coming Friday I have my first private lesson!!! And also at my rink the lady in charge of LTS started at age 33 and she was super good!!!!❤❤❤ that just shows you CAN do anything so start figure skating!!!❤❤❤ thank you for reading this!!! Love y’all ❤❤❤
I am 11 and my parents won’t pay for my lesson or skates, I am kinda of self taught and right now I know how to do Waltz jump , scratch spin and salchow, and the basics, you inspire me and when I am older I can hopefully pay for myself❤
@@Notsophieofficial1000I think my parent would but we’re kinda low on money but I might try self teaching myself too! How did u self taught yourself? :)
I started figure skating over 2 years ago, however due to having such a busy schedule with other sports and traveling for a long periods of time where I couldn’t go to an ice rink I am a bit behind. Right now I am learning T stops, backwards cross overs, and backwards storking, I’m still trying to persevere and get better! You are such an inspiration.
I was scared to start figure skating because ive seen videos that say you need to start very young. Thankfully I came across your account and noticed that figure skating doesn't have an age. My first class is going to be this Saturday and I'm so excited I can't wait
I've been watching your videos forever and you helped me get over a mental black an I started skating at 11! thank you so much you your videos you are a great skater and a great inspiration!!!!❤❤❤
Have you ever heard of a manga called Medalist? It's about figure skating, and one of the main characters also deals with the issue of starting the sport later in life. It's an incredible work, and it was the main reason that sparked my interest in the sport. I highly recommend checking it out.
Your videos inspire me so much, I asked my dad if I could be a figure skater because I’ve always loved watching it on TV, He said yes and I might start early next year!! Your videos are amazing, keep up the great work!! ❤❤❤❤
I am a figure skater, and I started at 15 ( last fall) This fall I moved up to figure skating from learn to skate. I am SO LOVING IT!!!!!! Though I do find it very hard, as I am from a small town and there are only young girls at my level. A lot of them are half my age and better than me. I sometimes feel that I have to prove myself since I am older, and it puts a lot of pressure on me, which hurts my confidence. I am currently learning 1-foot spins, backspins, waltz jumps, salchows, footwork, and stuff like spirals, spread eagles, and shoot the ducks. I am going to start learning a solo soon...I am literally SO excited!!!!! Even though my age makes it hard, figure skating is so amazing no matter your age! You are the BIGGEST inspiration to me!!! You literally make me believe in myself and my abilities. Keep up the amazing content, and happy skating to all my fellow skaters! Thank you!💖⛸
can you please give me some examples of short and medium term goals? i don’t really know how fast i should be advancing but right now i am in learn to skate 2&3 and everything in it is really easy. idk if that helps but please lmk ❤
Sofia, do you take any additional classes besides skating to work on your flexibility, body strength, ballance and artistry? Dance, Gymnastics, Ballet for example?
Hi I started when I was 13 and it’s been about a year I wasn’t able to skate during the summer but I started again I can still only go like once a week tho I’m in pre free now Is there any tips you have for at home training Love u so much ❤
Love your videos! I just started in June at 13! 😊❤ Also, would you reccomend gently used edeas? I really want them, but i dont want to pay the $750 that they cost.
Really want to learn figure skating as a hobby and if possible compete but my country only has like 3 ice rinks and they are all too far away from my home😢
Just started in the summer, I'm 45. Doing classes along side with my kids, 9 and 6 years old.
omg that’s so cute
Yess good for you. I’m 32 and I started last year! I love the adult skating community in my city
I started skating in 1993 and took lessons every week and even did competitions
Nice. Fellow geriatric skaters represent.
Same 36 started with my 8 year old daughter and now my 10 year old boy joined us❤

I started skating at the age of 26.
All the way from South Africa, now skating for three to two days a week.
Group sessions are the best!
I started about 5 months ago right after I turned 17! your channel was one of the things that convinced me that I could start :)
Your videos actually motivate and teach me! Thank you for your work and positive energy ❤️

Hi sofia!!
hiiiii
I was born in tropical country, and living at countryside... It's a impossible dream, sadly.
if you have enough money try synthetic ice or off ice skates
@@xXJoeyXxcoooool Both really expensive in my country 🥲
@@beatrizbrandao1476 sorry 😣
first 😍
What if you have a rink near you but no group or private lessons?
What do you do then, should I just look at tutorials on TH-cam?
@@monicapetizyeah i think it’s the only solution for u to learn the basics and all the figure skating moves
Oh, well thanks for replying.
@@monicapetiz ofc. there’s some good tutorials on yt so dw
I can't convince my mum to buy me ice skates 😭😭
start saving up to get them for yourself! that’s what i did❤️
@ i am saving up i hope that my mum won’t be mad 😭🫶🏻
