My 6 year old has been taking lessons at a local rink for a year where she has been working with a nice older lady who has been taking her through basic skills (we hired her after a few sessions of learn to skate last yr). She is about a basic 6 now and is almost ready for her pre preliminary test. I have the opportunity to have my daughter to skate and be coached at another rink with a 26 yr old girl who was an alternate in the 2014 Olympics. I think this is a great opportunity for her. Besides the Olympic girl who coaches, HER coach is also involved but works out of another rink. Does anyone have any experience to share from switching from a mid level coach to a very high level coach/skater? My daughter loves skating and I think this may be great way for her to improve. My main concern is that her current coach really has no track record of taking kids past non-qualifying competitions in all her years of coaching. I somewhat feel like she is more of a 'recreational' coach and I do not want to get stuck in this rut.
