Mentality is going to tire her and then burn her out. That is such an off-the-wall statement from someone who has never skated, never had an interest in the sport and is a card carrying constant "get Kwan". She is the one skater with the calmest nerves on the ice. I've seen her in action many times. And there is no burn out.
But I'm not sure what this has to do with what I said about my concern about her taking too much on her plate after taking it easy the last 3 years.
I hope I don't have to pretend to like MK from here on out to get my point across.
I can't think of you as a coach. You say she has to pace herself and then go on to say she must take on a fuller schedule. duh!
Pace herself, maybe that was the wrong thing to say. I meant she needs to "plan things out". Take a "fuller" schedule but plan things out. And there's no reason to think she won't do so.
Something could be worse than showing up at the Olys unprepared. Showing up at the Olys prepared and lose.
I think there are various ways of looking at that. I happen to think that both aren't necessarily a good thing. But if you come prepared, at least you will have less or no regrets.
So it looks like we have different viewpoints. Let's agree to disagree here.
