 One more year because i love skating:-) I have decided to do one more year of competetive skating and i tell you it was not an easy decision. I feel like i am getting old but with no injurys age is just a number:-) Its expensive to skate but who needs stuff when you have goals and love your life! last season was not my best if you look at the shortprograms but i skated great freeskates almost the whole season and practice was really progressing. with age comes knowledge and i know how to train and how to stay in shape and i will keep learning more and use it all to get better. We already have great plans for next seasons programs and i think it will be amzing. Also really looking forward to Europeeans in Sweden!!! See you all from the ice and thanks for all the support =)  I am really intrested in everything about Injury prevention and i try to gather as much information as i can. I have been really succesfull at staying injury free with many different exercises and preventions. Yesterday i was at a Team Danmark seminar about rehabilitationtraining with one of Denmarks top sports physiotherapist who talked about how to rehabilitate after injurys and also a little bit about how you could prevent them. There was unfortunately not so many new things but i got some good answers and its always good to keep updated on a very importing subject. I will keep working on staying injury free and keep helping kids how shouldnt be injured, who instead should injoy the best sport in the world. FIGURESKATING! =) 
This weekend i was at competition in Bratislva. For me this was not a very good competition i was not menatlly prepared i think. I just had 2 days at home after Nebelhorn trophy and in retrospect that really was not enough to get back mentally. I just felt off this competition and the skating reflected it i didnt get the normal competition electricity it just felt like skating and i never got in the music. But it was an experience and i couldnt have known that Nebelhorn would be so tough mentally but now i know=)
I did step-out on all jumps in the short and ended up with 52 points witch was really dissepointing. In the free i didnt do much better with only a few good jumps and a rely dumb fall in the last 2 axel=) landed me on 107 in the free and totally 159. I hoped to not be under 160 this season and that 1 point felt really bad but lets move on. PS Sorry for beeing so bad at blogging lately i will be better.  Finally at the competition for the olypic spots. The first training was great all jumps was really easy and the ice fits me perfectly. Today i have to practices on ice but the competiton starts on friday so no stress yet =) The list looks really tough, there is a lot of great skaters competiing for only 6 spots so i have to do good. We have been put at great hotel with a nice spa in the basement so maybe i go for a relaxing swim before the next practice =) 
 This week i can not go so hard at the gym because i got the big competition next week. So this week is perfect for extra prehab stuff i usually do it at least 2 times per week. I really belive this is a big reason why i havent hade problems with injurys. This week is all about preparing for Nebelhorn trophy and the qualification for olympics. I feel ready and my body is in great shape =)
 Today for the first off-ice training (indoors, did 30 min jog in the morning) for the day I did abs and back mostly with kettle bells. I love them, off course i do planks and variations off crunches also but i like to focus on more komplex excercises. Off ice training to me is very important and i think thats the reason why i havent hade any real injurys for a long time, and no operations besides my apendix removal. Othervise this is kinda a slow week with competition only a weak away but i have done my intervals and my good summer work so i think my body is ready and i feel great =) But i look forward to the periods of hard work now, i love beeing exhausted. the ice training is great the jumps start to feel ok even in the programs now, but i will keep you posted on how it goes.  I wil try some different kinds of photos in the begining to see what people and I like best so please if you have an oppinion let me know =)
Writing soon again.  This summer started a little different then usually with 3 weeks of training and then i did 1 week coaching. The first weeks we finished booth my new programs. I did them both with my brother and i feel like we really got the best out and im super excited to show them of in competition.
