I wrote a post a couple of years ago this week about my son and his ice skating lessons. He was having issues bending his knees... which had been brought about partially by the type of skates he started with. When he changed from rental figure skates to hockey skates, he was keeping the old (bad) habit he had relied upon.
It wasn't working out for him. He had to unlearn the bad habits and learn a new way to skate. Eric Bolton of the Atlanta Thrashers gave him some tips each week, and loads of encouragement. He also had lessons from a couple of the coaches at the Duluth Ice Forum, including Coach Krystal... one of his favorites. He also really enjoyed skating with Coach Jenny.
Now, two years later, he has been playing hockey since July, 2008. He even bends his knees. He loves skating, and really likes playing hockey. His movements aren't perfect (he is still not 6 years old...) but his skating habits are good and he gets better with time on the ice.
The original article ties the story back to real estate agents and marketing... It is an interesting read.
