The jump doesn’t start at the takeoff. It starts with the steps that build the position.
Her entry isn’t perfect, but every step puts her where she needs to be. That’s what most skaters miss.
In my free guide, I show the most common preparation mistakes and how to fix them.

Skaters, parents and coaches: what do you watch first on a jump?

Lutz, flip, Axel… they look like completely different jumps. But look closer: same takeoff mechanics, same rotational move. 👀
Most skaters work on each jump separately. When something goes wrong, they fix one jump, then the next, then the next. That takes years.
The faster way is to master the foundation they all share. Improve it once, and every jump benefits.

The 4T as a spring 🌀
Sofia Smagina’s quad toe at the Russian Grand Prix (Stage II) is a great lesson in how a toe-assisted jump really works.
Yes, there’s a full blade assist. But look at what happens at the pick: she doesn’t just tap the ice, she absorbs the push, loads the energy into the ice… and releases it as fast as possible.
Load → store → release. That’s the spring.
👉 Skaters: on your next toe loop, feel the pick as a loading moment, not just a contact.� 👉 Coaches & parents: watch the timing between the tap and the takeoff. That’s where the height comes from.

3 mistakes I see in almost every skater’s jumps, from beginners to internationals.
👉 Skaters: one of these is probably costing you rotation right now.
👉 Parents: these are the details a coach’s eye catches, and video makes them visible.
👉 Coaches: a quick checklist before your next session.
📘 The fixes, frame by frame, are in my free guide “The 3 common mistakes”. Link in bio.

Massive height. Heavy twist. 👀� Kamila Valieva’s Lutz isn’t just about power. Watch the toe pick: the rotation starts before she leaves the ice.
1️⃣ Wide opening on the right side�
2️⃣ Pre-rotational twist driven by the toe pick�
3️⃣ Full blade assist�
4️⃣ High snap of the left leg
Skaters: watch your toe pick, not just your height.� Coaches & parents: this is what slow motion reveals that the naked eye misses.

Most skaters want to skip straight to the triple. 🚀� But here’s the truth: your single IS your triple, in slow motion.
This skater started with an unstable single and double toe loop. We didn’t chase rotations. We worked the entrance and the details until the jump was clean.
The result? A massive triple. 💥
Single, double, triple, even quad: the mechanics don’t change. Only the speed does.
👉 Skaters: respect your singles, they build your triples.� 👉 Parents: “easy” jumps in practice are not wasted time. They’re the foundation.� 👉 Coaches: fix the single, and the triple follows.

Day in my life as video analysis coach. Workshop with the Belgian National Team and Development athletes.

Think every jump requires a brand-new technique? Think again. ⛸️
Here is a secret from the biomechanics side of the ice: your skater's Triple Flip and Triple Lutz rely on the exact same mechanical foundation.
From the force-production setup to the air position, the core rules do not change:
Same entry speed
Same body alignment
Same rotational axis
When you fix the fundamental setup on one edge, you naturally unlock the rest of their jump trajectory. Stop rebuilding the wheel for every element. Master the mechanics once, and watch every jump elevate. 📈

Before I was an analyst, I was just a young coach asking one question: How do I help my skaters see what they can’t feel? ⛸️💡
I’ve always been insanely curious. Early on, I realized the naked eye wasn’t enough to catch the split-second details.
Then I found a book by Jacques Piasenta, coach to 1992 Olympic track champion Marie-José Pérec and a pioneer in sports video analysis. Reading his work changed everything. It sparked the exact framework that built Perform'Live. 📊✨
Great coaching isn't just about spotting errors; it's about giving athletes the visual proof to build real confidence.
