Aside from the comments pro and con of Sasha, I am struck by the talk about practicing full routines every day even twice a day.
On a technical note, I have heard Russian coaching is half a routine one day and the other half the next day. I don't know if that is true. But, if it is, then that's Tarassova's method. Is it bad? Certinaly not for Yags. Is it bad for Sasha? who knows? I don't think TT is a singles coach. Maybe the method worked for Dance (and Yags),
I don't think of competitive skaters as all being homogenized. They come from various walks of life, and no two are the same. What's good for the Goose may not be good for the Gander.
I would say full routines every day but then I am not a coach. However, I believe one has to work up the stamina. Breathing at the right places is a must! No skater should tire during the last minute of the routine.
