The role of self-perception in figure skating

: Self-perception plays a crucial role in figure skating. Figure skating is a highly technical and artistic sport that requires skaters to have a strong understanding of their own abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. Skaters must have a clear perception of their body position and movement in order to execute jumps, spins, and intricate footwork with precision and control.Self-perception also influences a skater's confidence and mindset on the ice. Skaters who have a positive self-perception are more likely to approach difficult elements with determination and resilience. On the other hand, skaters with a negative self-perception may struggle with self-doubt and fear, leading to hesitations and mistakes during their performances.Furthermore, self-perception can impact a skater's ability to receive feedback and make necessary adjustments to their technique. Skaters who are self-aware and open to constructive criticism are more likely to make improvements and progress in their performance.In conclusion, self-perception is a fundamental aspect of figure skating that influences a skater's technical execution, confidence, and ability to receive feedback. Understanding and studying the role of self-perception can contribute to the development of effective training methods and performance enhancement strategies in figure skating.


Introduction
Self-cognition refers to an individual's perception and understanding of their own thoughts, emotions and behaviors.In the field of sports, self-cognition is considered to be an important factor for athletes to think and evaluate their ability and performance in the process of competition.Figure skating is a technically demanding and psychologically stressful sport where athletes need to maintain a good sense of self while spinning, leaping and balancing at high speeds.Self-awareness plays an important role in figure skating.It helps players understand their ability and technical level, recognize their emotional state and way of thinking, and build self-confidence and self-belief.By cultivating good self-cognition ability, players can better develop and improve themselves and achieve better results in the competition.By understanding and promoting athletes' self-awareness, we can improve their confidence, motivation and psychological quality, thereby further improving their competitive level and performance.These research results have important reference value for figure skaters' training and coaches' teaching and guidance.

The concept and function of self-cognition 2.1 The concept of self-cognition
Self-cognition refers to the individual's cognition, understanding and evaluation of himself.It is the subjective reflection and awareness of self-existence and self-characteristics, and the process of self-awareness and cognition of one's inner experience and external performance.Self-cognition is a dynamic process, which can be carried out through self-observation, self-reflection, self-evaluation and feedback from others [1] .Through self-observation and self-reflection, individuals can reflect on their way of thinking, emotional state and behavior habits, so as to better understand themselves.Through self-evaluation, individuals can evaluate and compare their own performance, so as to more comprehensively recognize their own strengths and weaknesses.At the same time, feedback and evaluation from others is also an important way to help individuals know themselves.Observation and evaluation from others can provide objective perspectives and opinions to help individuals understand themselves more accurately [2] .

Help athletes realize their skill level

Figure skating is a sport that requires a lot of flexibility, strength and coordination, so knowing your body condition and abilities is very important for training and competing. [4]Through self-cognition, athletes can know their own body flexibility, strength and balance and other aspects of the situation, so as to formulate a reasonable training plan and competition strategy.

Help athletes understand mental states and emotional changes

All in all, self-perception plays an important role in figure skating.It can help athletes realize their technical level, understand their physical condition and ability, understand their mental state and emotional changes, and evaluate their performance. [6]By cultivating good self-cognition ability, athletes can better improve their technical level and perform well in the game.
