Just saw this very impressive article about Jason Brown's coach, Kori Ade, (and his impressive mother too)
http://espn.go.com/espnw/athletes-l...-coach-helped-raise-figure-skater-jason-brown
I cannot tell you how impressed I am by a coach who says, "I'd rather be called a second mom than the greatest jump technician in the figure skating world". Applause, Kori. And applause to the Browns for keeping Jason at home.
So it made me wonder (particulalry since I took a 15 to 20 year break from watching skating and it took a Jason Brown to make me want to watch again): are there any other coaches out there like this? Who else should I applaud?
