What makes a good figure skater? Physically and mentally?

Which figure skating quote?

  • I'm thinking about choosing a figure skating quote which one should i use? 1) Falling is learning. If you're not falling, you're not learning hard enough 2)I speak figure skating 3)Live loudly. Love passionately. Skate hard. 4)Get a life....a figure skating life 5) 7 days without figure skating makes one weak 6) "I walk on water...frozen water" <-- love this Johnny Weir quote :) 7)If you don't fall on your butt at least 100 times, then you're doing it wrong 8)Keep Calm and Skate On 9) Patience of a golfer Speed of a speed skater Strength of a hockey player Agility of an archer Grace of a ballerina Flexibility and balance of a gymnast Artistry like a painter. 10) "I believe that whatever it is that you really want, you have to believe in it and go out there and get it." Kristi Yamaguchi

  • Answer:

    "Choosing a quote"? Why do you only have to choose one? My personal favourites are 1), 7) and 10). @Caitlyn, there are plenty of things to be patient about in skating. It takes lots of patience to repeat elements over and over again, and of course there is the fact to learn that good skating isn't going to come overnight.

i love Keep Calm and Skate On! but one that you don't have which is my all time favorite is - 'Haters gonna hate, skaters gonna skate' :)

The falling is learning one. 4) sounds really obnoxious and stuck-up. 9) is incorrect if only because archers aren't "agile". Eagle-eyed, maybe, but not agile. Please know the meanings of words before you use them. EDIT: @Caitlyn: Yes, I did. I'm very cranky that I lost my old one. Clearly one too many people didn't like hearing the truth.

1 sounds weird the way you worded it. I've heard it as "If you're not falling, you're not trying hard enough" because "learning hard enough" doesn't really make sense. 2 is totally correct- a friend from skating and I were talking at lunch about skating one day, and she was telling me what her freeskate program has in it, and my other friends were listening, and they hear words like "flying camel spin, double flip, shoot the duck, death drop, double salchow, Ina Bauer" and so on, and their faces were priceless. 3 sounds weird. You can't live loudly.... 4 is stuck up, like "you have no life if you're not a figure skater". 5 is just a quote that only works written out, if you say it to someone it doesn't make sense. 6 is just eh. True, but not my favorite quote. 7 should be 1000 times, not 100. 100 is nothing. 8 is one of my favorites. 9 is incorrect. What do you have to be patient for in figure skating? And archers aren't agile, know what you're talking about before you make up quotes. I've seen that quote before, but worded differently, and in a way that makes sense. 10 is one of my favorites as well. @K Did you have to make a new account?
