Is 13 yrs of age to old to start training for figure Ice Skating?

Well first of all the chances are low for someone to get to the Olympics, but its a good thing you're starting now. I go to high school with Tanner Anderson, who placed second in the nation for high jump, so Im kinda creditable. First of all, if shes only one, most coaches won't even look at her; there is a such thing as starting too young.

If I were you, I'd take her out on a rink for fun about once a week to even see if she enjoys it and has some sort of talent. If so, start her in ballet and gymnastic classes. Gymnastics is a whole other realm of Olympics, but it's great for dexterity, flexibility, strength, and balance; all of which she'll need in figure skating.

At this age, a diet would hurt more than help, but when shes four or five, bananas and lots of protein would be great. Fruits and veggies are crucial, but at all costs avoid high fatty foods and sweets. Homemade food is healthy food.

Multivitamins can be a great additive for good health. Ice skating can get costly, so be prepared. When shes still young, a good coach isnt vital, and just getting her on the rink with basic training is all she'll really need right now.

When she's between 4 and 7, get her with a good coach, which might require you to move. Research coaches and rinks. Keep her in ballet and gymnastics throughout her entire career to maintain positive traits: good coaches are looking for good foundations.

Once you get her into a rink, they'll get her into competitions when shes at the right level. Just remember to keep her healthy and not to force her into anything she doesn't want. If ice skating doesn't work out, gymnastics is always great too!

Good luck and I hope I helped(.

You should let your daughter skate in the age of 3-5. She needs a private coach, preferably someone who understands little kids. If you really want her to be a very serious skater, you should make her stretch right now.

Right now, she should train in a local rink and she should start competing when she's ready. Ballet and gymnastics are very good for ice skating but I don't really recommend gymnastics because you don't jump in the air the same way as skating and ballet and you don't spin in one foot but it helps balance. Your daughter's diet doesn't really matter as much in figure skating, she can still eat fried food but don't let her eat much because it's not healthy anyways.

You don't have to make her really fit right now because just skating in a basic level already builds muscle around the knees and thighs. Also, if you want the rink all to yourself to let your little kid practice, go at the earliest time in the early of the morning and have a coach teach her then because a rink can really be packed. I'm not telling you that you have to do all this but I just hope this helps!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
