You must be ready to skate at least 1 hour before your scheduled event time.
It is strongly recommended to arrive 2 hours early to allow time for:

• 📝 Check-in with me and get your number on (for figure and dance events only)

• 👗 Costume adjustments and making sure skates are tied tightly enough

• 🔥 Proper warm-up and streching

• 🧠 Mental preparation

• 📏 Floor awareness & spacing

📅 Competition schedules are typically released about one week before the event.

💪 Arriving early = calm mindset, prepared body, confident performance.

💪While progress absolutely happens in practice, competition challenges you to apply your skills under pressure. That is where real growth and character are developed. ♥

Competition builds more than skill... it builds character!

• 🤝 Be respectful to judges, officials, competitors, and teammates at all times.

• 📣 Cheer for others and support your fellow club members — we compete as individuals, but we represent our club.

• 💬 Be coachable and open to feedback (from trusted sources!)

• 🛡️ Protect your mindset and be wise on who's opinion you should take to heart - not everyone deserves your consideration when they give you feedback

Remember: results are feedback, not identity. ♥

Placement does not define your worth.
Scores highlight areas to improve but they could never measure your value (beyond words!)

We win with humility and lose with growth. 💪🏅

Leading up to competition:

• Regular practice attendance is expected.

• Full program run-throughs should be happening consistently.

• If training attendance drops, event entries may need to be reconsidered.

Competition is earned through preparation. 💫
