This news has me just too sad for words. But long term health is always more important. Best wishes to Jason for a complete recovery. I hope that he and Joshua Farris are going to encourage each other in their recoveries; they seem to have a great relationship.
I don't mean to sound ignorant about physique and skating, but I am seeing chatter about how Jason's body is too frail to train quads. I think that these comments are strange because:
1) It may not be the quads, it could have been spins or spirals, or something else in his training (although didn't Farris hint to it in a tweet some time back about seeing his friends getting hurt from training too many jumps?)
2) What about Jason's physique would be "too frail"? He looks he has more muscle than Hanyu (who I have worried about being too thin, especially in his legs).

It's never good to hear when your competitors are hurt. Wishing @jasonbskates and @joshDfarris all the best in their recoveries.
He did not have to do that, and actually is in a better position himself, but I liked seeing it.
And in a desperate attempt to cheer of Karne
here is my cat swooning for Brendan Kerry

I don't know why but for Brendan she was right on he back watching upside down... most skaters she just watches normal... but either she knew he was from down under and wanted to watch upside down, or she just thought he was a hottie and was trying to flirt through the monitor.

According to the icenetwork report, apparently, when he resumed training, he just reinjured his back again, so this is new news.

Sorry for my bad English . I do not understand something about Jason's withdrawn
Jason no has a coach? Why not talks about this theme the team ??? Kori Ade etc . ???
Jason has had a nice FS ( T & I) . It was changed after six months. Why? Apropos of the new choice : Nyman is a great composer and his soundtrack of The piano is a masterpiece ... but why the choerografer chose the most boring part of The piano music???

Jason has a coach, but the press conference is a type that he he has done multiple times on his own before. For whatever reason he made the announcement rather than his coach... both are acceptable are within the realm of normal for skaters. Kori was never a part of the prior press conferences so his doing it on his own is very very normal.
He changed the program at the end of the season as that ... is basically tradition in figure skating. Most skaters keep their programs for a season, maybe two, and the summer is when they can learn new ones. So that is what the cycle has become. He debuted T&I in June of 2014, and skated it for the last time in I think it was early May 2015. So pretty much one year.
Why they picked that part... because Rohene is a werido. And that is part of why we love him.... he likes to keep us scratching our heads.

Mostly Jason, but likely his mom helps as she is qualified and they have a good relationship.
I think Kori likes her students to take charge a bit. She mentioned it a bit in her TSL interview that she was glad that Jason wanted to do his own announcement about going senior for instance. Most skaters tend to be their own mouth pieces lately.
He does have an agent burred out there technically, but we don't really hear much about that.

There is always chatter from armchair doctors who can apparently diagnose injuries and causes through a computer screen, probably the best thing anybody can do with that is laugh about it
His body isn't 'frail', and I can't see why anyone would even think that...And I'm a little annoyed with the blaming of the quad. Jason himself said he can't trace it back to one specific element, jump or spin, so that's what it is. I'm pretty sure he knows what he's talking about. The fact that it's "nothing acute" has me really worried to be honest, but if the doctors say he'll be back at 100%, then I'll believe that. I'll get a beautiful new candle tomorrow and light it right next to the one for Josh. At least we know that with has positive and strong personality, if anybody can fight through this and come back better than ever, it's Jason. (I'm still lighting that candle though)

Stitch, did Jason get another agent after Shep Goldberg passed? Serious question, I don't know.
Cats and tequila, perfect together

Well I think the "nothing acute" comment is to emphasize that he really wanted to compete but the injury was an issue. When he W/D from NHK there were more than one snarky Twitter comment that he did because he was afraid of competing with all the quad-folks or whatever.

Agreed about Jason's positive personality. I also think no one, unfortunately, has more experience fighting back from ailments than Josh. After they have fully recovered, I would love for them to do a video together talking about coming back from injuries. I think it would be informative and encouraging for those of us who train for "normal" athletic events like 5K/10K runs or triathlons.
That makes no sense. If Jason didn't feel like he could do the quad at NHK Trophy, he would have simply not competed with a quad. He has shown that he is more than willing to compete without it and just focus on great skating.

Well, I sure hope it's that then. And I know those snarky comments, but I just hope Jason ignores them (as he 'should', so to speak).

The agent question came up before and it looks like he is with the same person that inherited Michelle Kwan.
His Figureskatersonline.com profile lists a Bridget Klein of Klein Curry Communications as a contact person.
Klein Curry Communications lists Michelle Kwan and Evan Lysacek on their client page... so it looks like he just went with the portfolio so to speak.
... both cats and tequila have the power to make everything better. Maybe i should bring my cat and a bottle down to Jason and Josh.
