Correct answer: Focus on her breath and movements.

Explanation: Mindful attention to breathing and body movements keeps practice intentional and improves skill learning. The other options are not appropriate for staying focused or safe: a teammate can help motivation but doesn’t guarantee focus; pushing to exhaustion is unsafe and counterproductive; skating with eyes closed is dangerous.

Quick tips to stay focused while practicing:
- Set a clear, small goal for each session (drill one skill).
- Practice in short focused blocks with rest (e.g., 15–20 minutes).
- Remove distractions (phone off or out of sight).
- Use video or a coach/teammate for feedback.
- Warm up and rest when tired to avoid injury.
