Hooray for Muscle Memory

It’s been 13 years since I trained as a figure skater, but my body still remembers how to jump. I skate once a week for fun and fitness. Despite lacking good conditioning and the kind of guts figure skaters need today I can still land a good number of doubles. It always amazes me how easy it is as long as I don’t think about it too much. If I can trust my muscle memory and not my intellect it’s almost always a sure thing.

    It’s amazing what our bodies’ muscles can remember. I played competitively with the national junior level volleyball team back home and even though I am nowhere like the player I used to be, I can still do a lot of things I thought I would never be able to.

    Can you land a triple still?
