    I think “staying on a single until it’s ready” is the best way to have the correct head placement and take off in a double axel. Remembering that if the take off isn’t mastered in a single, it’s not going to just happen in a double. Lee’s approach is helpful, as he consistently shows the take off position the same way, leading a skater to believe there really is one correct way and working towards achieving it first in a single, making progressions from walkthroughs/exercises to double or triple axels.
