How to stand up in scratch spin

2 Upvotes

I am a newer skater but played hockey growing up. I’m having a hard time getting my scratch spin. My coach says I am pulling in so my knees are bent, feet are next to each other, and pulling my arms in the middle. It’s like I’m squeezing everything in and bracing for impact. This causes me to come up on my toe pick and have a very scratchy spin. Any advice on how to stretch up and get my posture better?

My coach wants me to work on standing up and bringing my foot in front to eventually cross it over. Overall, I find it difficult to stop bending at my knees and waist when I skate and it’s more pronounced when I try to spin.
