A Lass Called Eteri​

A Limerick by Anonymous​

There once was a young lass who coached.
She liked Figure Skating and she broached.
It was rather better,
But not very bet her,
She couldn't say no to the encroached.

Ode to the Plushenko​

A Sonnet by Anonymous​

My Plushenko, you inspire me to write.
How I love the way you Coach, Jump and skate,
Invading my mind day and through the night,
Always dreaming about the clear update.

Let me compare you to a sheer crowbar?
You are more golden and more amusing.
Light storms whip the twiglets of October,
And autumntime has the funny musing.

How do I love you? Let me count the ways.
I love your top Charisma, Hair and eyes.
Thinking of your bruising Eyes fills my days.
My love for you is the brisk compromise.

Now I must away with a musing heart,
Remember my odd words whilst we're apart.

The Mishin and the TukTamysheva​

Rhyming Couplet Ideas by Anonymous​

See the Skating of the man,
I think he's angry at the plan.

He finds it hard to see the snake,
Overshadowed by the Massive cake.

Who is that Jumping near the fish?
I think she'd like to eat the dish.

She is but a Perfect girl,
Admired as she sits upon a squirrel.

Her Technical car is just a mouse,
It needs no gas, it runs on spouse.

She's not alone she brings a Coaching,
a pet Trusova, and lots of poaching.

The Trusova likes to chase a Mentor,
Especially one that's in the centre.

The man shudders at the High academic
He want to leave but she wants the vehmic.

Sambo-70 - A Haiku​

Dampen november
suddenly dark sambo-70 skates
into the orser

Trusova - A Tanka Poem​

by Anonymous​

Oh my Trusova
She's powerful and scary.
She has two cold styles
But one Elegant Prowess
When she skates I feel frightened

if you’re a pro athlete, I’d say quite often they have to stick to strict diet regimes. Like Rika, she measures and rations all her food every day. It will be a lot of sad boring meals, probably most of them not enjoyable at all, but that’s a price all of them have to pay.

Strict yes, but getting the right calories and nutrition doesn't have to be boring. I think Panenkova's mum just wasn't into cooking :D Chicken can be grilled, steamed, roasted (more variety but adds negligible calories), you can put many different herbs and spices on it too... Soups and salads also have infinite permutations, a lot of them lower-calorie. For sweets there are fruits and nuts and if you have a really sweet tooth you can make jellies or whatnot with natural sweeteners like stevia that don't add calories. A lot of athletes (runners especially) are avid cooks and I think that actually helps with their nutritional control, because they figure out how to make stuff tasty yet healthy. Meagan Duhamel is a skater example. Pardon my enthusiastic digression 😅

It's not expected that these skaters will be competing for a long period of time - but for the coaches who have 3 or 4 youngsters lined up rearing to replace them its not a problem.

Didn't quote your whole post due to length, but agree that patience and long-term investment of time into skaters is important. I'd add that it's not only for learning sustainable quads but also for dealing with the process of emotional maturation. As people mentioned, teenagers can have mood swings and be difficult to deal with, but the really good coaches support them psychologically through this period instead of condemning or giving up on them. In the same way that some kids' jumps are more affected by physical growth than others, some kids are naturally resilient/hardworking/brave from the outset but others have to learn to develop a good training/competitive mindset (I think Javi is an example?) It can definitely take more than 3-4 years to get it.
 
I think the biggest issue is people trying to paint Eteri as an angel or a demon, when really she is neither. She is a successful figure skating coach who has some controversial methods.

Parents and children can decide if her approach suits them or not and then decide whether to stay or go, nobody is held there against their will.

If they choose to stay, good for them.

If they choose to leave, good for them.

If they choose to never come in the first place, good for them.
 
we will be having siblings rivalry zhilina’s sisters and thats really exciting both of them are really naturally gifted so talented.

Youngest ever? Never could figure out why Eteri didn't take both sisters-both are talented.

I thought she did take both? I'm pretty sure Alena still trained at Sambo, she was just coached by her mother. Veronika was too, but she was starting to work with Rozanov as well.
