Let the skaters skate round on the track, guiding them through a light stretch routine, while they focus on their breathing.

For example this grocery-shop themed one:

• skaters skate around the track, pushing their imaginary "shopping cart" with both hands
• reaching for the top shelf (lift arms up high, "pick apples" with alternating hands)
• mid-shelf (twist both arms to the left, get something from the imaginary "shelve", put it in the "shopping cart", then repeat to the right, etc.)
• bottom-shelf (twist right arm to left foot, grab something from the imaginary "shelve", put it in the "shopping cart", the repeat for the other arm, etc.)
• race to the last free check-out: skaters sprint 2 laps, then they have to find a partner skater (last one can form a group of three)

Assessment of own goals: Skating partners discuss with each other what their goals were for this training, and how it went with those goals. They have to each name: one thing that went well, one thing they'd like to improve on the next training.

Skaters will have mastered this when:

• they're not out of breath after this drill
• they can easily come up with one positive point and one point of improvement
• they can set small, achievable goals for themselves each training
