On the difficult path to high achievements in figure skating, figure skaters face various difficulties and stresses: high competition, pressure from the public and judges, injuries and overexertion, the need to improve their technique and artistry, to combine sport with studies and personal life.

All these factors can negatively affect the psychological state of skaters, reducing their motivation, self-confidence, concentration, ability to self-regulate, and adaptation to changing conditions. Therefore, the psychological training of figure skaters is an integral part of their sports activity and an important condition for achieving high results.

We, the Ryabinin Camps Team, realize how important psychological support is for figure skaters at figure skating camps. We offer our camp participants individual and group work with experienced coaches and sports psychologists to help them:

To develop mental functions and processes necessary for successful control of movements and performance of figure skating elements (sensations, perception, representations, thinking, memory, imagination);
