My Double Axel Journey

  • Hi this is Diana.
    So it took me overall a year and 2 months to land my double axle. I made this video to show you to never give up. At the beginning of this video in June 2016, you can see how bad and painful my double axels were. I wanted to give up many times during that year and two months but with the support of my friends and family I eventually landed it!

    Also I had struggled with anxiety during that year and so it made it difficult for me to continue but I eventually did. I would move past my anxiety attacks and just work on my jump. However long it takes you to land your jump, just know that eventually if you work hard enough you will!

    You can actually see the progress! Congrats! I'm still working on mine, any tips for off-ice exercises?

      P.S. are u from the UGL region? Because I think I'm one of your competitors! I recognize your dress!

      yeah I'm from UGL, some off-ice exercises that are good are one footed box jumps and of course off ice double axels.

    Well done. It's a hard jump to get but when you do, what a relief. Keep up the good work 😊

    Congrats what a huge accomplishment! A lot of bruises along the way. When people see it on tv they have no idea the falls that we’re put in to finally get the big jumps

  • @allanbarfoot2975

    The good thing about the video was that when you fell, you got back up like it didn’t happen!

    Hey, any tips for mental blocks? I seem to get scared of falling over. However, I attempt it in the harness with my coach and he doesn't lift me and I land it every time. I basically already have it, but something's stopping me from attempting it without him there. Any help? Thanks!!!

    • @dianafreeman9897
      @dianafreeman9897  6 лет назад +28

      Hi I had this problem too, mental blocks are really annoying but one way that helped me get over mine was imagining in my mind me doing a double axel and landing it. You also just have to be confident and not overthink the jump. Try telling yourself that you can land it and that you will land it. Hope this helped!

    • @TheMirrorLps
      @TheMirrorLps 6 лет назад +3

      Thank you so much! I've been attempting it for about 3 months now and I'm getting really close, but it's just that barrier that's stopping me. Thanks for the tips!!!

      Also try to get into a jump quicker and without any doubt, maybe change entrace, add some steps to distract you from the jump. It will prevent you from thinking too much before jumping and make you just go for it

    • @eva-wh3mm
      @eva-wh3mm 5 лет назад +5

      Before doing big jumps I like to just tell myself " its too late to bail now"

  • @Ria-yz7hy
    @Ria-yz7hy 2 года назад +1

    My coach says that I shouldn't be scared of falling since that what makes me or us learned and that's part of the process. So, those people out there who's afraid of falling over, just think that it'll be worth it and dude it's part of the process. We got this!

    How do u rotate fast it is hard for me I have good air time and high jumps but not they very fastest

    • @dianafreeman9897
      @dianafreeman9897  5 лет назад +1

      Madison Xaphakdy well I’m kind of short so I guess that helps but I do a lot of off ice jumps and double loops off of back scratches so that usually helps me rotate a little faster

    • @dianafreeman9897
      @dianafreeman9897  3 года назад +1

      My advice is to maybe work on it off-ice first to get comfortable with it, then just really work on keeping your arms as tight to your body as possible. I hope that helps!

    1 year is not a "long journey", in stead it is lightening fast to land that 2A in 1 year.
