Well I don't think she's tried the sports psych path yet so that might be worth a shot. Or as you suggested just front-loading her FS with four jumping passes with the highest value and let the rest of the program just play out (without falls at least) So much talent on several fronts she should be medaling again and again instead of this. Love her to death but I am ready to kill her.

I would be surprised if Amber Glenn, known advocate for mental health in athletes and destigmatizing the topic, who has been vocal about acknowledging her mental health struggles, and who lives in a country where sports therapy is readily available and commonplace for top-level athletes, hadn't worked with a sports psychologist, even if she hasn't explicitly said so. Sports psychologists aren't a magical fix-all. Like all forms of therapy, it takes time to work and doesn't guarantee success. However, they are an extremely valuable resource especially in times of struggle like these. I know she's just as frustrated as her fans, but unfortunately murder doesn't help her win any medals
Oy I'm out of here and on to track and field and the Olympics. I think I'll go back to being a lurker here.I would be surprised if Amber Glenn, known advocate for mental health in athletes and destigmatizing the topic, who has been vocal about acknowledging her mental health struggles, and who lives in a country where sports therapy is readily available and commonplace for top-level athletes, hadn't worked with a sports psychologist, even if she hasn't explicitly said so.

I want Amber to have two programs that have music that she dreams of skating to and can get lost in. I want her to look forward to doing choreography that she loves and makes her happy. I want her to finish and think, wow is it over already? I have no particular choice in mind - the goal is for her to love skating. And satisfy that dream - the rest will follow.
Think of Kwan and East of Eden, Yamaguchi and Blue Danube, Sasha and Dark Eyes, Sarah Hughes and Ave Maria, Tara and Sense & Sensibility or Katelyn Osmond Edith Piaf, or almost any Carolina Kostner program or Katarina Witt skating to I am What I am. The programs fly by quickly and there is no time for nerves - only magical musical movement.

In her book Gracie says USFS provides all skaters with access to sports psych (I think. Really need to get searchable Kindle copy).

There's a rumor that Amber's free next season is to Evita

From the interview just posted in the Edge, it doesn't sound like she's picked music yet.

Hmm I was just thinking about Evita- but for Smart Dieck until I remembered Piper & Paul just did it.

She kind of has the Evita look, sort of. Maybe she could use Madonna's Spanglish mix in there. It's not bad, at least it isn't some brooding, boring slow ballad. She should skate to something that energizes her and lifts her up.
