Young skaters would do better to forego those early morning training sessions. The Hughes consulted a sleep specialist, who has been on tv recently, and told them Sarah should forego her early morning sessions . IMO many skaters are not training smart and are making things much more difficult for themselves than is necessary.
And because it works around the school day if they attend regular school.
One of the many examples that support Olympia's point:
When Virtue/Moir as young kids were ready for more than what their hometown coach (Scott's aunt) could offer, the first big step was daily sessions with a more advanced coach -- requiring a looooong round-trip commute before starting their regular school days.
In the wee hours of every morning, the two families would take turns at carpool duty -- driving on the order of 90 minutes each way -- so that V/M could skate in Kitchener before heading to their classrooms in London and Ilderton.
