Skating on the Planet

[Maya]

How is everyone doing on your skating journey?

 

My local rink changed its manager, who is now allowing figure skating during public sessions (albeit unofficially) so I skated more frequently this past winter. However, I feel I've been doing the same elements (half flip, 1S, not-so-good 1T, inconsistent scratch spins) for years. There has been progress, which mostly is on edges and posture but feels incremental. I wish I had breakthroughs in jumps and spins.

 

During the last several months of working with my coach  I felt I hadn't made progress for a long time and I needed more practice myself. With more practice at least for months I'm still feeling the same, sort of stuck. I'm curious if any of you cared to share whether you also felt a plateau at a certain point, and if so, how you dealt with it.
