We practice deliberate practice?
What is deliberate practice?
If you’ve ever watched the movie Karate Kid and the teachings of Mr. Miyagi, this is what deliberate practice looks like, it is repetitious movements over and over again, then we apply them in a real world scenarios such as skating down the street, and needing to come to a stop or make a turn from forward backwards.
What we’re are doing with deliberate practices is building muscle memory and nuro plasticity, to allow your body to make the functional movements! (with skates on) The skills your will be practicing will help you with:
- be lateral on rollerskates,
- stop on rollerskates
- slow down on rollerskates
- turn corners on rollerskates
- turn around from forward to backwards on rollerskates,
- spin on rollerskates
- Skating on 1 foot,
- Speed & Agility, Roller Derby, Dance on Skates, and Outdoor Skating Readiness.
All this is accomplished through highly targeted deliberate practices and practice.
One requirement for beginner class. You will need to have a strong sense of balance off skates on one foot for both your right and left leg. To test your self stand on one foot for 30 seconds. If you can balance for 30 seconds you are ready to start training with skates on.
If not start here with off skate training
