ABSTRACT

Self-perception plays a crucial role in figure skating. Figure skating is a highly technical and artistic sport that requires skaters to have a strong understanding of their own abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. Skaters must have a clear perception of their body position and movement in order to execute jumps, spins, and intricate footwork with precision and control.Self-perception also influences a skater's confidence and mindset on the ice. Skaters who have a positive self-perception are more likely to approach difficult elements with determination and resilience. On the other hand, skaters with a negative self-perception may struggle with self-doubt and fear, leading to hesitations and mistakes during their performances.Furthermore, self-perception can impact a skater's ability to receive feedback and make necessary adjustments to their technique. Skaters who are self-aware and open to constructive criticism are more likely to make improvements and progress in their performance.In conclusion, self-perception is a fundamental aspect of figure skating that influences a skater's technical execution, confidence, and ability to receive feedback. Understanding and studying the role of self-perception can contribute to the development of effective training methods and performance enhancement strategies in figure skating.
