Adam's reluctance to train in the gym was mentioned in a recent article. Not good.
If this is true, than Alex would kick him out after a couple weeks. Of his highly talented high level skaters, he would not put up with that.

I actually thought he was doing fine with Orser. This year, I found him incredibly slow and his programs lacked transitions.I love it, when he bombed with Morosov, everyone said Orser was the coach he needed - because Orser'd just had big success with Kim YuNa. Then when that crapped out and he didn't do any better under Orser, brief as it was, everyone wanted him to go to Yuka & Jason. He's crapped out again so let's send him to another coach...
meanwhile skaters like Cohen and Bobek who chased coaches for a time were blasted (and still are) because they were trying to find a quick fix. THERE'S NO QUICK FIX FOR RIPPON.

Orser got used to Yuna's work ethic and finds Javi not disciplined enough about training too. See the common thread here with the champions -Yuna, Chan, and Takahashi? Yuka and Jason probably attracted the soft skaters because they are nurturing, but they don't have any tough one in their stable as a role model to spur the rest on. I know Lysacek and Chan have been very motivating for their training mates. And Yuna too, when she was around.
I agree. If Evan is still in competition after Olympics alongside with Mirai,
It would be different. His work ethic and nerves of steel definitely affected Mirai before.
Chan exerts good influence on Joshua as he said.
Yuka and Jason has no role model of mental toughness under their tutelage.

Valentina Marchei did quite well for herself and Italy at Worlds and is mentally tough.
Funny, that sounds just like Alissa. Is that Yuka & Jason's formula or something? (I realize it doesn't apply to Jeremy.)I actually thought he was doing fine with Orser. This year, I found him incredibly slow and his programs lacked transitions.
This is not how I remember the conversations here. There was a lot of respect and support for Brian. Not that there was much anti-Yu Na sentiment or anything, but she never explained her decision so there was a lot of puzzlement about her dumping him after winning the OGM. Just my recollection, FWIW.CAS said:This is interesting considering the hit Orser took when Adam left him. It followed shortly after YuNa left so gossip and internet speculation as it is had Orser the bad guy in the situation. Reading this thread reminded me of something hinted at back when he split with Orser. Some quotes from both of them are in this Hersh interview:

Farris's one senior outing this year was abysmal (16th at Nationals). He would not have been the guy I would have put on the World team instead just like Dornbush wouldn't have been. Miner is probably the guy who deserverd it most.
