Each athlete is different and progress at different paces. There is nothing wrong with that. Your best bet are private lessons with a good coach that has the ability to teach you level 2 + skills. Privates are great because they are one-on-one and focused on skills of the individual athlete...

You should just buy the tickets when you get there. Go early on the day you need to watch. The lines might be long but they do move. It's worth it to go especially to see Canadian Trials in IO divisions. So much more exciting to see in person and worth any waiting in line. We went in 2015 for...
