►Pratice doesn't make perfect.... Perfect practice does. When heading into a competition or test practice your entire skate from a 5 minute warm-up, through the program or moves and even how you will get off the ice. Practicing without gloves and in your competition dress or testing outfit is important too! The more comfortable you are with the entire routine the better you will feel when the pressure is on.....

►Make sure to check skates every 13-15 hours to determine if they need sharpening... Lori
