I thought this might be a good time to salute the achievement of Tom Zakrajsek (whose name I would not have known how to type until just now). When has one coach's work paid off so much at Nationals? Jeremy - Gold. Brandon - Silver. Ryan - Pewter. Rachael - Silver.
What's going on out there in Colorado? Any comments on how Zakrajsek (gotta keep practicing that name... keep trying - soon it'll roll off your fingers) is doing it, and in general any analysis or anecdotes about what makes for great coaching would be very interesting while we're waiting for Worlds!

He said Boitano had told him that he could end up as coach of all the skaters on the world team.
