So, I'm on the hunt for a coach. I have Christopher for my jumps class and since I'm the only one in the class I'm essentially getting private lessons from him. So far, I feel as though he gives good direction, is honest and tells me when something needs work but also tells me when I do something right, and has a nice balance between artistry and technique. During our previous lesson, he showed me videos of some of his other students and how they approach certain jumps. They are higher level skaters working on triples so I know I have room to grow with him. I feel comfortable with him being my coach long term but before I ask him, I just want to take one or two more lessons with him to be sure. I'm not sure if he would even want to take on an adult skater as a student. And what does he even charge? Can I even afford him? Can he give me lessons on weekends??? Aghgghhhh!
I just thought I had more time to research possible coaches. I feel like I have to make a decision real soon and I know what a commitment this is for myself and whomever I choose. So much pressure to get it right!
