Too many body parts:)

[TAHbKA]

I feel like a freaking centipede or at least an octopus when on the ice - apparently I have too many limbs and body parts and not enough brain cells to control them at once. How on earth do the skaters do it??? When I finally figure where the legs should go (and don't let me get started on apparently 2 legs having to do different things and the ankles always go to a direction,.... in my case it's always a WRONG direction) then the shoudlers/arms and even neck and head walk into the picture and by the time I figure what am supposed to do with the arms and the shoulders I forget what my legs were supposed to do!
How the centipede even walks!?!??!?!?!?!?!

Thank you for listening to my shout of frustration, off to mend the blue marsk all over my body after erm.. forgetting what the legs were suppsoed to do while focusing on the shoudlers.

If it makes you feel any better, I feel this way too these days.

Many times my coach would tell me, "OK, now you've got your knees working, but you forgot about your arms and head." Or it was the other way around. Too many things to think about at the same time!

Absolutely - as soon as I start to really think about body part X, body part Y goes and does something...

My favorite - tell the body to not move in a particular bad-habit way, and what does it do? Tells me to feck off and does it the bad-habit way.

"Don't turn your head early on the take off" Head proceeds to whip around backwards like the exorcist the next 5 attempts.
