the fixed people are mom(former). Raf, PT trainer, Yuki and Nathan.
but Nathan does seek short term help from many people:
Marina, Lori, Shae, Alex Wong, some therapist. etc. many many
these people and Vincent' team are the ones who were really there accompanying their comps. medical, psychological stuff are not by their side, only called for when needed.

Each skater at Nathans level has a team of coaches, choreographers, dance instructors, trainers, physios, sports psych's and so on.
It's not just Nathan and Raf all the time.
Vincent isn't the only one that has a full team, most if not all of them do, especially in the US and Canada.

I am sure Vincent has a spin coach or even more specialist to help him on various things. maybe even Tom Dickson to help him with edges, SS.
In TCC. they have specialist on every thing, dance, spin, edges, stroke, SS. Every students there took those classes on regular basis. Those specialist are not always big names.

I'm not 100% and maybe @Ic3Rabbit can correct me but I believe even elite skaters only get actual time with the coach perhaps 2 hrs a day and would have to work on their own during free style sessions.
ETA: I doubt Tom Dickson works with Vincent. Usually it's pretty apparent when a skater has worked with TD.

Just saw a report that Vincent plans to go to local college near his training base. So no to Stanford.
I found out where I got the info, an Icenetwork article dated back in 2015, so maybe the info is kind of outdated now.
In Colorado, Zhou will also work with Becky Calvin, Janet Champion and Becky Bradley on spins as well as Catarina Lindgren (polishing programs) and Anna Weslin (ballet).
Vincent is based in Colorado Springs, which makes lots of things easier.
Vincent's regular training ice time is aways accompanied by his head coaches (at least one of them, usually more than one).
this does not include him learning new choreo from other people.
yes I remembered that, all those wonderful people. and Vincent is also currently working with another choreography/dancer on artistry, that is not mentioned here.
Vincent does said that Colorado Spring is the best figure skating training center in US.

What do you mean by regular training ice time? How much does he train on the ice per day? Or do you mean his multiple coaches take turns during his on ice time?
3 hours per day, 2 sessions. coaches will be coaching him during the 3 hours.

Actually I'm lost. Why are we talking about how much Vincent trains, whether his coaches spend every hour with him on ice and whether he has a team full of everyone and comparing all these details to Nathan?
I'm wondering the same thing. He has his own thread.
no just around 3 hours, divided into 2 sessions, it is pretty standard for US elite skaters.
some skaters trains really hard, I heard some Korean skaters trains 8hr per day.
