This is a tough one where the focus is on helping rookie skaters. What happens if you don't pass your minimum skills right away? Is finishing those 27 laps in 5 minutes a struggle? Are you getting frustrated and discouraged when others pass ahead of you? Do you feel left behind? Are you losing motivation and don't want to go to practice anymore?

Bookmark or save this one in some way, I think there’s going to be several skaters and coaches who need this sent to them. This episode was suggestion by multiple listeners! Happy to finally get to it. :-)
