That doesn't mean you'll be doing triple axels, but you can at least do the fundamentals if you have the drive and determination. If, on the other hand, you have a tendency to trip over your own feet walking to the salad bar then you're not likely to suddenly gain coordination from figure skating. Darth Vader would have made a good figure skating coach. Come to think of it, there are quite a few coaches out there with similiar personalities. But I digress.
Figure skating is all about using the force.
Both physical and mental. The mental part I've already gone into. Most excellent advice. When jumping, spinning, edging, drooling, whatever, it is important to be able to just let yourself go. Don't hold back.
