How do coaches usually deal with skaters who want to try ambitious jumps?
Kwan and Oppegard are legit and I'm sure they will talk her out of it. It's understandable that the youngster in her wants to do all these flashy moves but the coaches have to share their wisdom and keep her on a winning path, which IMO is continuing to make the improvements that have brought her back near the top of US figure skating.
Maybe her coaches are encouraging her with this jump. We don't know otherwise.
