This instructional poster details the 7-step process of executing the figure skating “Axel” jump. The diagram features color-coded arrows and concise instructions, and ensures accessibility for both left and right-dominant skaters. The clean and intuitive design offers a step-by-step guide, allowing skaters a comprehensive intro to the first rotational jump.
As a figure skating coach, I have found that breaking the Axel jump down into a 7-step walkthrough allows the skater to understand correct positioning before safely attempting the jump. Coaches often use frame by frame videos to explain correct technique, which inspired my technical drawing.
