I will be honest- when new families come to learn to skate and ask for a coach, no one tells us “whoever you get now, you are stuck with and any change will be dramatic and difficult” if we got heads up that we were choosing a coach for good then we would choose more carefully and do research. I also don’t understand why when we pay for 100% cost- we don’t get a say in who gets to coach especially when we see unethical behavior at times. I do think people sometimes need more time to assess but generally when you look at the rink, you know who is a good coach and who is not up to part

This was well timed. I am an adult skater who is getting back into the sport after 15 years. I stated with one coach because I wanted to get into synchronized skating. That didn't work out so I switched to ice theater and with the old coach's permission, switched to someone who specialized in that. I was debating switching again (we have been working together for 6 months) after some pretty big communication issues. Perhaps I should heed your advice and have a discussion about it.

Instead of changing coaches, I have two. I go to one mainly for overall skating skills. The other one for spins; I needed to learn how to spin from someone other than my first coach because something just didn’t click. I’m not exactly a people person, so I generally don’t like approaching anyone new. My coaches know my personal ebbs and flows, so it would be such a waste to trash the 1-2+ year rapport I have for the sake of starting afresh. I’m an adult skater, by the way, and I don’t mind the slow, gradual progress I’m making. My coaches work with me to ensure that I don’t pick up bad habits.

I am about to start my journey into ice skating. I requested a couch from the rink I will be taking the LTS program so I can advance faster but I am not sure how to even tell whether a couch is good or judge their technique. Like I can barely stand on ice, how am I not supposed to think the first coach I get is the best thing since chocolate?

Thanks for helpful information

Hey Coach! I'm a beginner figure skater and am learning my forward crossovers, however, I find myself falling a lot and landing on my knees (which causes lots of painful bruises, Ouch!) Is there anything I can do to stop my falls? I'm looking into getting some knee pads but I don't wanna use those forever. Any advice would be great! Thanks!

Funny you bring up the FTC. I was joking with my coaches that the FTC would come after them for all fixing their prices.

Just in time, I have been wanting to switch coaches , I have been with this coach for years now but I feel that this coach is like what you said , he has always had perfect technique , my current coach kind of believed that his techniques work for everyone , and I feel isolated, I can’t really give many opinions since he thinks he’s right all the time since it works for him , this coach keeps pressuring me into staying with him and not switching coaches , and he talks bad about his former students that transferred from him ,I don’t want to get yelled at if I talk to him about switching coaches and don’t want to bare the shame from him after switching how do I address this situation?
