Did you find out the fan mail address for her?
I'm very concerned about her.
 
Frank Carroll is a wonderful, iconic coach, but there seems no success in truly connecting with her needs at the moment. The kiss and cry body language was sad and stark.

I found one but I'm going to ask her fan clubs to make sure it is correct. I am a bit concerned too, and I want to do something however small it is to help her.

Congrats!!! I couldn't throw something to the ice and make it, it's good that you did! Now i want to watch on the video and see if I can see a poster go down. 🤗

I reallt do believe there was a time that partnership work. Now I am in agreement that he does not know what to do with her. It's unlikely she switch coaches but I think it's time to at least bring someone new to the team to help her mentally. She has the ability to make it all the way, it's difficult to see her fall.

But otherwise, I think she has been working more on the long program and selling it. There were a few points that her facial expressions really shined and her step sequences were really nice. I believe she can still do well at nationals!
 
I put this in the TdF thread, but I think it belongs here too:

Can we bring back Gracie's 2013 "Life Is Beautiful" program where she had a real smile, huge jumps, and skating looked fun. Then she'll go to the K & C and Alex will give her a huge hug (5:38).

I hated that program at the time but would give anything to go back to that Gracie now, I agree with you. The hardest thing to see is that she really does seem to have lost the love for the sport, I'd let her do the windmill arms and cheesy and slightly inappropriate smiles to Holocaust music any day over this (and I honestly do mean that in the best way possible, I'm sincere in my sentiment).

Oh, she was so happy then. Made me even more sad for her now. I noticed that the man that was there with her, not her coach, used to be with her when she was with frank in 2014. Does anyone know who that is and why he isn't with her anymore? They seemed to have a good relationship. I miss that Gracie! 😪😪

I've wondered about that guy too, and I'm not sure who he is. I still see him around and wonder who he is! I think what just brought tears to my eyes was just that big bear hug Alex gave her and how he kept saying he was so proud of her. I wondered if maybe Gracie and Alex could get along a little better now that Gracie is older, and now that she has seen what life is like with another coach. I picture her with Kori (and Jason) too. We have probably all thought about this situation as much as she has! :)
 
I am very worried about her psychological health, her expressions have been so sad. I thought today they should have told her good job for hanging in there but she got no support it seemed. I really hope she has love around her! Wish I could give her a big hug.

Yes I emailed a message and lots of quotes. Let me know if you didn't get it.
 
I think I know which one is yours then!

Yeah probably the overly emotional, silly one but that's me! I get overly concerned sometimes, just like I would with my own kiddo.
I also made her something so if you do get the confirm on the mailing address could you PM me with it? Thanks!!
