I am thinking about the mental fortitude she had to continue from 2010 to 2011 and improve and turn everything around. Clearly it's in there or she would have quit after 2010 or continued to muck about last season instead of fighting for everything. It must be in there somewhere, she just needs to tap into it.and mskater93, where is the mental fortitude in Alissa to turn this mess around? I think she should have retired, as she is a lovely show skater and should model whatever.
For those who have not seen her CC skate, it is the worst I remember in a long time.
@CameraLaw Won't know how we would've been better served until after Nice. What I know is I've 100% faith in my coaches & the plans we set!
That and the send off club skate before the Nationals.
Jeremy twitted:
Perhaps the coaches saw how they had been on one year and off the next, ditto competitions, so they wanted to sandwich a bad skate between the Nationals and Worlds for them.
So, is your thinking that they need "tough love"?
Everyone is different and probably has a unique coaching strategy that will work for them. Some need that tough love, that kick in the butt to get them going. Others may be more fragile and need someone to comfort them when they mess up...it's a personality thing.
