This episode of The Nadia Chapman Show –-The Figure Skaters’ Edition dives into one of the most overlooked performance tools in skating: identity.

High level skaters don’t perform consistently because they feel confident all the time, they perform consistently because they’ve already decided who they are before the pressure shows up.

In this episode, Nadia breaks down how identity driven decisions create stability, trust, and calm under pressure, especially in competition moments when fear, comparison, and overthinking try to take over.
