What to focus on, what to ignore, and what actually compounds
A Skating CEO guide
Most skaters do not fail because they lack talent.
They fail because they make early decisions without understanding the game they are actually in.
They train hard. They commit early. They chase the wrong signals. Then years later they realise they built skill in a direction that limited their options.
This document exists to prevent that.
It is not motivation.
It is not inspiration.
It is a decision filter.
If you are between 16 and 25, the choices you make now matter more than anything you land on a given day.
Skating is not a single ladder.
It is a set of lanes that intersect.
Competition is one lane.
