For me personally I prefer to train in small amounts but...
If you fall out of love with pole, you burned out or just don’t want to train anymore - that’s ok. There is nothing wrong with you. I understand your pain. I’ve been there myself.

1) Comparing yourself to other students.
I’ve been there. Many times. I know how you feel. Some people learn faster, some learn slower - that’s normal. Focus on you and your training. You have your own beautiful journey. Enjoy it. And make the best out of it. Like I just saw the...
First i need to say never compare yourself to anyone - you have your own beautiful journey and path, you are special and unique.

Funny story about this choreography.

There are some things I can recommend that helped me during my pole journey to be less stressed before and during competitions.
If your performance is fully ready, make sure to run it many many times so you can almost do it with your eyes closed. It will help you to relax and remember all the...
