program is a routine where your jumps are high, cover a lot of ground, fully rotated, tight aesthetically with pleasing air positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A perfect routine is one with absolutely no flaws. A routine that cannot be improved upon at all&#8230; A perfect just doesn&#8217;t exist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_goal_for_your_routine_a_clean_program_or_a_perfect_program_will_affect_your_mindset\"><\/span>The goal for your routine, a clean program or a perfect program, will affect your mindset.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When your aim is a clean routine, you <strong>focus<\/strong> on performing each element and each jump to the best of your abilities. You may feel jittery but you feel ready, <strong>confident<\/strong> and <strong>composed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A shaky landing or a fall will still be <strong>disappointing<\/strong> but you are quickly able to move on to the next aspect of your program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you demand a <strong>perfect routine<\/strong> from yourself, you have no tolerance for mistakes. Setting your sights on <strong>perfection<\/strong> creates <strong>tremendous anxiety.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of <strong>focusing<\/strong> on hitting your jumps, you will focus on <strong>NOT<\/strong> screwing up your jumps. The slightest flaw in your program will send you on a downward spiral of making more <strong>mistakes, overthinking<\/strong> elements in your program and <strong>under performing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patrick Chan, the three-time figure skating world champion and three-time Olympian, started off the 2018 Olympic Games with a shaky program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chan, admittedly, has under performed in each of his previous Olympics. Chan\u2019s poor fortune has continued at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chan fell on his first jump, an attempted quadruple toe loop-triple toe loop combination. Chan had a shaky landing on his next jump, the triple lutz, then fell a second time after a triple axel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chan attributed his poor performance to a mixture of nerves and having to compete unusually early in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe there was something greater at play for Chan&#8230; Maybe his biggest nemesis was perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CHAN:<\/strong> <em>&#8220;When I stepped on the ice in the last two Olympics, I felt defensive. I felt very fearful of making a mistake. The biggest moment in our lives, the biggest stage in our lives, we want to be perfect, right?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chan\u2019s thinking is flawed&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being <strong>fearful<\/strong> of <strong>making mistakes<\/strong> and skating <strong>defensively<\/strong> are directly caused by aiming for <strong>perfection.<\/strong> It is <strong>stressful,<\/strong> at any competition, to skate under the <strong>high expectations<\/strong> of perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As if <strong>perfection<\/strong> wasn\u2019t stressful enough, a competition of Olympic magnitude fans the fires of stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Performing to your ability, in the biggest moment of your life, on the biggest stage, requires you to perform freely and rely on your instincts and skate in the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to skate a clean program, you must overcome the belief that you need to be perfect to achieve great results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Focus_on_a_Clean_Program\"><\/span>How to Focus on a Clean Program:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I tell my skating students to think about performing a good program that they have done in practice&#8211;not a perfect one.
