In a hard time like this when competitions don't exist, you still need to earn money somehow, don't youAnd don't forget it is the parents who are making that decision, they are the ones who are 'investing' the money in all those skaters after all. I would say it is less about the relationship with the coach (unless we are talking about extremes) and more about the parents and funds and aspirations they have.
I get what you are saying, and it's a classic one. Parents wants the fame and money and their children have to work for it. Unfortunately I don't think this will ever work out in the long run. And I fear, in this case, that both Trusova and Kostornaia will suffer for this transfer. I hope I am wrong.
It will be interesting to see how team Shcherbakova will react to all this. I know nothing about Trusova/Kostornaia's parents, but I have read some interviews with Anna's parents, and they seem like they know what they are doing, and that Anna herself has full control over her own destiny (in that regard).
