Hi everyone! I’m new here but had to put an input on this thread.. It’s definitely important to sometimes look back at where you were when you started (even the simple things, like your walk, simple spins or climbs) and consider how much better or just more confident you are with those moves now. I haven’t been poling very long (I’m up to term 4 at my studio, so 40 weeks in) but have made sure to get a couple of videos as I go, so every time I feel really down about not being able to get a move (I feel like I’m never going to get my pole-sit) I look back at my beginner videos and see how far I’ve come with some of the other stuff.

It’s different for everyone, I was one of the first ones in my class to get invert but it took me 3 terms to do a fankick properly. One of the other girls in my class lands all the harder moves (jagged edge, layouts, etc) straight away but has difficulty with easier ones, so remember not to judge yourself against others too!

Good luck 🙂
