Hi Everyone!<\/h1>\n

TeamLivy Update #5<\/strong> : October 5, 2016<\/p>\n

Winter is coming!<\/strong> The leaves are just about finished changing colors and snow has been flying a bit here in Park City! You can feel that winter is just around the corner. It has been nice to be home this past month, enjoying the changing of the seasons in Park City, focusing on school and some last minute summer prep training.<\/p>\n

Training the Details<\/h2>\n

This past month has been a month of repetition within my training back on the water ramps at the Utah Olympic Park<\/a>. My main goal of this past training block has been to fix up the little details in my preparation that will make a large difference come time to perform. Specifically, in my jumping over the past few weeks, I upped the consistency of each of my tricks, reinforcing a straight and tight body-line with each time I go off of the ramp. Additionally, a huge portion of my ramp training incorporated speed changes (moving up and down the ramp so that I can get adjusted to all speeds at a split second\u2019s notice). This was one of my largest takeaways from the competition in Australia: in order to compete my back full to the best of my ability, I need to be able to immediately register my speed and adjust my takeoff accordingly. (CLICK HERE to view my Australian Nationals competition run<\/a>).<\/p>\n

During this last training block on the water ramps, several concepts have clicked for me with my jumping; I\u2019m quite satisfied with my progression and the improvements I\u2019ve made, and am beyond ready to continue this positive trajectory and get to snow!<\/p>\n


\nWATER RAMPING AT THE UOP<\/h6>\n

Another tactic I have taken this past month in order to make my back full a bit easier and to begin getting some miles on a new trick, is that I have begun to work on a double full (back-flip with 2 rotations) both on tramps and on ramps! I am super excited about this; although I know I have a long way to go before getting the trick on snow and in competition, I\u2019m taking an active step towards one of my long term career goals which is to perform this trick in my competition run.<\/p>\n
