Can you please help me choose a direction?

It sounds like your body wants you to go clockwise, in my opinion:) Although, you have progressed greatly in learning all your single jumps AND being able to jump them in both directions for skating since June!!! Congrats:) All of your preferences are the complete OPPOSITE of my preferences, and I'm a counter clockwise skater. I agree with your coach in picking one direction and sticking with it in order to start learning your doubles; I'd focus on the clockwise direction. I think that you generally find it easier that way and you will be able to progress faster and probably feel a bit of relief as well!! Take care:)
