I would say to Jenny Kirk to stop cupping her hands whenever she does a jump. She should flex her fingers gracefully.

Advice
Elena Sokolova - Find the form and attitude you had during your Worlds SP! Stick with more upbeat music like "Samson and Delilah". If she could skate with the same joyous abandon everytime I could become an ardent fan.
Michelle Kwan - If you're coming back...don't let the success of last season leave you without that hunger. Don't be cautious just because you're number one again, let it all go and enjoy yourself.
Petrova & Tikhinov - Retire! LOL, no, but they desparately need to improve so many aspects of their skating. They need to work on stamina and their excitement level. This season they left me cold. Their skating was empty and void of any emotion.
Timothy Goebel - He's getting there. I don't believe we'll ever see a dramatic makeover from one season to the next (like Michelle from 95 to 96). What we are seeing is gradual improvement in the presentation department every year. This reminds me a bit of Todd Eldredge. Todd's style developed over a long period of time and became quite pleasing and fluid. So, I think he should listen to those around him and do only what he is comfortable with.
Angela - I want a World medal for her so badly! Or at least another Nationals medal! She seems so geniune. To see her skating improve so much from 1997 to the level she reached in 2001 was wonderful. She's got it all....now I just want to see her realize that.

Michelle - your footwork sequences improved SO MUCH in your 03 programmes, so keep it up. But don't leave the rest of your routines so empty. You've proven you can do the in-betweens and transitions, so don't leave them all out! Also, come up with a new dress design 
Sasha - work on the flutz. Work on consistency and edge security. Perform for the audience and for the love of skating, not for the medal.
Irina - work hard to be as ready as you can be for this season. Hold some of your positions longer (like in the Olympics SP), and explore different types of music and choreography. You obviously love skating to upbeat music, and do very well at it, so try capitalizing on that in your new programmes, particularly the LP. Combined with your speed, power and edge quality, it'd be amazing!
Sarah - enjoy your time at college! Continue to skate, but do what you want to do, it's the best thing to do.
Plushy - continue in the same vein. Don't overdo it on the jumps if it's going to cause injury, as spectacular as they are to watch. Continue to improve all the time, work on spins, and just carry on.
Tim - work on using your arms more and loosening up. I think it'd make all the difference in the world. And really try hard to carry on working on artistry - I have to say I didn't notice any improvement from last season at all - the only difference in his LPs from Olympics to 03 Worlds that I noticed was the wide-mouthed facial expression at the start. It's not just about the elements, remember that. Particularly when you're competing against the likes of Plushenko. Other that that, take it easy on the hip.
