You've got a clumsy foot. Guess what? We all have.
Tone it down and use it to improve both your legs' dexterity!
Lately I ran an agility class during the Team France Bootcamp following the Patin Français event. The subject was "stops" and we obviously worked on both sides. Several girls told me in confidence that they were very sorry and ashamed of having a clumsy leg. I decided to make a small speech on the normality of it. Here is a more developed version for everybody to enjoy.
LEGS ARE LIKE ARMS
Let's tone down disillusions right away: there is nothing less normal than having a leg clumsier than its sibling. Legs are like arms. Try to write with your bad hand. Disaster, right?
Transpose it to your legs and you will realize that you're not doing
that bad: at least you can walk on two legs!
Indeed specifics are
trickier with your unnatural side, and WILL ALWAYS BE but you can reduce
the gap between your two sides with work.
The idea is not to equalize the abilities of both legs, but
to make sure that your body at least knows the move on both sides, so that if it
has to do it, it will know how to get away with it.
Coping with
both sides (add front and back to the list too) is a way to improve
your agility as it opens your field of possibilities and your
instinctive awareness. Once again, variety is the key!
