These boasts are excessively self-centered, and out of proportion to the skill development.<br />Eva's story (above) is a fine example I've seen in another skater; the skater brags about 'mastering' a skill, but it's never witnessed. That's bragadocio and the product of Demon Bragatron.Babbette Duboisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05721808053479678691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679510245284968389.post-23353625806139971802014-03-06T22:25:41.921-05:002014-03-06T22:25:41.921-05:00Im not see anything bad if person did some element...Im not see anything bad if person did some element and so happy about this that want tell everyone. Of course this element cant be so great next time. But we always so critical about themselves - lets enjoy at least something what happened good.<br />Because mostly people saying about themselves only bad things, how nothing good happened at training. But it was something good, at least some steps )<br />Maybe I never met so annoying persons like you, I think its really great to communicate with other adults and be happy that they can do something good, see some progress...that's my opinion :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15641494551761371076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679510245284968389.post-14267795873821474632014-03-06T11:17:10.529-05:002014-03-06T11:17:10.529-05:00There's a skater like that at my rink as well....There's a skater like that at my rink as well. Granted, she has progressed a LOT in the last year and will most likely continue to, but when she masters an element she has to tell EVERYONE. And I mean EVERYONE. She landed one axel recently and then started telling everyone that she has her axel. Next time she was on the ice, it was gone. <br /><br />She will learn, but she also has to learn the art of being humble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679510245284968389.post-11552726468163538962014-03-05T21:55:11.844-05:002014-03-05T21:55:11.844-05:00Tee hee.....I'm laughing heartily at the expen...Tee hee.....I'm laughing heartily at the expense of someone who shall remain nameless.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17426889465474016623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679510245284968389.post-17647490913214096572014-03-05T08:53:31.030-05:002014-03-05T08:53:31.030-05:00We definitely have one of these skaters at my rink...We definitely have one of these skaters at my rink. This person is always talking about themselves and how they've successfully "mastered" X, Y or Z element. It's so annoying. The best part is that no coach or skater has actually seen this person do X, Y or Z correctly (especially in a competition), so the skater is full of hot air. Regardless, it stinks to have such an arrogant person around.Eva @ Eva Bakeshttp://www.evabakes.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
