Monthly skating review: progress and goals adjustment

My goals for last month were:
To take it easy, skate just 3 days a week so my soft tissue hip injury will have a chance to heal. I did this, and I'm felling better, though still not 100%. I couldn't work on power and extension but I did work on posture.

To use the ice show as a learning opportunity. I did control my nerves. I did concentrate on specific goals and I realized that it takes away from the overall performance. Going forward I'll know that I'll have to work on specific things in practice, and to concentrate on being in the moment in performances, tests or competitions. And my technical goal was to put in the scratch spin, and I did.

To balance the skating with other physical activities. I was considering ballet but it didn't work out for my schedule. I did add an once a week yoga session.

Progress? I don't know... I didn't feel that I could work on things, but merely go trough things and I had just 2 lessons.
Freestyle: The scratch spin has definitely improved. As I was learning the scratch spin I was talking a long time to set it so it could center. In performances (the ice show) there is no time for that, but shortening the entrance can either mess up the centering or totally take you out of the spin. On the other hand entering the spin quicker, gives more power, so if centered successfully, it will be a better spin.
I took a lesson mid month and review basics: edges, crossovers, chasses and worked more on the scratch spin and started the back spin. The correction on the scratch spin is to bring in the free foot higher, over the knee and close the hip of the free foot before I bring the leg down.
MITF: Before the injury 2 months ago they felt almost ready to test, the only thing the coach was pushing for, was power. The lesson I took on the last week on the month was concentrating on moves. I feel I actually lost  power, but the coach thought that working on posture helped with being more exact and that will give me confidence in adding power soon. I still got corrections...
-back power crossovers hold the arms in the same position as the crossover while doing the inside edge
-3 turns: hold the first edge extension longer, be more aware where the weigh falls during the turn, don't rush
-back edge pulls: turn the free leg from the hip pigeon toe for inside edge, open toe for outside edge
- on back circle eight inside edge hold the arms towards outside of the circle till the middle
-5 steps mohawk: skate it, don't step, on the back edge push around
Ice Dancing: As I felt I couldn't hold the extensions without pain, and the 3 sessions per week I skated were all crowded, I kind of let the dance training go. I did run trough the dances once in a while.

Goals for this month:
Try to skate 4 days a week and get one lesson every week. That will give me at least a day when the ice is not crowded so I can work on dances. As it doesn't feel I'm close to test anything, I would like to balance the training and lessons between moves, dance and free style. So, start working on free style consistently even if it's just spins while I'm not feeling 100% with my hip to work on jumps. Work on what I can, don't push what I can't!

Continue being aware of the posture! This really seems to help.

Go to the ice rink a little early and warm up off ice.

Yoga also seems to help. I would like to add a second class per week but seems hard to fit in my schedule so I hope I can start doing a little at home.
