Answer 2

Try doing some exercises to increase your balance. A great one for this is to squat on one leg and reach down (with the opposite arm than the one you're standing on) and put your hand next to the outside of your foot. Try doing this fifteen times on both legs.

This isn't necessary, but it will help.

Enroll in some beginners classes at your rink, these will help as well.

Answer 3

just keep trying and you will get it eventually
