What Do You Put in A Skating Binder?

Everyone's binder varies, depending on their level and skating preferences. But in general, most people have a list of things to do during the practice. Mine looks something like this:

WARMUP:

-stroking

-crossovers

-power pulls

-cross rolls

SPINS:

-scratch/back scratch spin

-sit/back sit spin

-camel/flying camel spin

-combination spin (camel, sit spin, cannon, back sit, change of edge, pancake, tornado.)

-flying spin combination (flying camel, back sit, twist, sit spin, broken sit, haircutter.)

JUMPS:

-waltz jump

-axel

-double sow

-double toe

-and so on...

of course, everyone is a different level, so you might be working on different things if you're higher or lower than me. but i hope you get the general idea. =)

-Music

-Kleenex (in the pocket)

-Chapstick (in the pocket)

-Articles you find about skating that you think are helpful

-List of things to practice

-Calendar of skating events you are participating in

-Moves in the Field diagrams

-Diagrams of different footwork patterns and programs

-Notes from your lessons (Write down things your coach teaches you right after your lesson)

-Skating goals

-Record of skate sharpening (so you don't forget how long it's been)

-List of warm-up activities (after awhile you'll probably memorize this though)

-Score sheets from tests (If you don't pass a test, you can work on fixing things the judges didn't like)

-I have a picture of Alissa Czisny from her 2009 championship win because I think she's inspiring ,and when I'm having an off day on the ice, I can draw encouragement from it.

-Ask your coach what she wants in your binder; she may have some things to add!

i dont have a skating binder but i know alot of people that do

they have a list of things to warm up with

what they want to acomplish in a year

& just anything else that has to do with skating

some coahes give out stickers for a good lesson, so they have a sticker sheet too

I keep my music in my binder. My coach also makes sheets for me on stuff to practice, and I keep my moves in the field packets and other competition information packets and things in there. My coach has us fill out our goal sheet and I keep it in there to look back on. Stuff like that.
