How do you know if you going to be a champion figure skater or not?

Is there any magic formula or do billiant young skaters burn out as they get older!!!How do you know if you going to be a champion figure skater or not?
haha i tried it once, im a guy and played hockey as a kid, and hurt my back so i tried to become a figure skater so i could maybe the disney skating on ice thing... well i gave up when i found out i cant jump, but anyways... i know from being a hockey player i dated a figure skater most of the time for about 4 years, from what i saw, she did lots of yoga, and stretching that can decrease the chance of injury and increase the strenghts of muscles prolonging ur career... second whenever she practice she would play a song, it would be easier these days with ipods, but she would play the same song for about 2-4 weeks, and everytime she would clear her mind and just try and skate with the music, trying something new everytime... she could focus on jumps the whole routine, dancing, spinning or just timing the whole time, but she was just able to get into, and build a good abiliity to think on her feet, she ended up beeing pretty damn good... but all it takes is focus and determination, watch people and learn, maybe try and find a partner, that way u can learn more from him or her... practice somewhere or at the same time when there are other figure skaters there... i would start skating with them and become friends with someone your age, then affter chatting and gaining experience become friends with someone a little older, up to the most experienced or perhaps an instructor... build a relationship with them and maybe try some private instruction so she can critique u and let u know what to work on... after u are comfortable with ur skills, go skate in an amatuer competition... hey muhamad ali, didnt show up to his first boxing match and beat the hell out of his opponent, he had to get his but kicked, get made fun of, and told that he couldn't do it, but with his determination, AND PHENOMIC NATURAL ABILITY, he stuck with it, and worked his tail off and is now known as the best boxer to ever live...How do you know if you going to be a champion figure skater or not?
if u suck at ice skating its not very likely ull be the best. but if ur pretty gud keep practising and maybe sum day ull be the best in the world.:D think of the glory...:p
WELL I CAN ANSWER THE OR NOT BIT, IF YOU GO TO AN ICE RINK AND CANT STAND UP ID SAY ITS UNLIKELY YOU'LL BE A CHAMPION
always go to practice then you will become champion level's skater very fast! but I'm a benninger :(
lots and lots of practice. Good coaching. Being on the good side of the judges.


Basically you have to have lots of money and be home schooled to be competitive.


Lots of young skaters do burn out as they get older, but most just stop skating because it takes up way too much of their time.
