Purpose: Practicing single leg stationary axel take-offs is important so that skaters can focus on the stability and quality of their take-off position into their follow through. If skaters are practicing the jump with momentum from an entrance, they can often lose the quality of their take-off position and generate the rotation from their speed rather than proper form
Focus: Take-off, consistency, stationary, axis, alignment, arm position, vertical height
