To follow the trains of thoughts here, would an alternate scenario for Yuzuru's development have been:
- Allocate JSF scholarship (and possibly more) to Sendai rink's upkeep instead.
- Hire specialists in skating skills (stand-in for Tracy Wilson) and off-ice training -- for conditioning, posture and lines of extension (preferably from young age as seen in Cha jun-hwan and Shoma Uno.)
- Depending on whether Nanami takes on Ryuju Hino, as imaginary scenario provides her better support and funding, that rivalry with Hino instead of Fernendez (twice on podium with PChan in 2011-12) becomes a tertiary influence on Hanyu's competition nerves.
- Nanami continues to oversee his choreography (most recently in WC gala), enlisting help as needed (in slowly shedding the "Junior" packaging in time for Sochi; his first EX as senior boasted those Vertigo "sexy moves" she choreographed, predating PW by 2 seasons.)
Other issues still remain in Nanami's care:
- stamina (subject to diet, SS to skate smarter, and off-ice conditioning - which requires hiring help for Nanami's mother-wife role, in order she may devote even more to coaching.)
- curbing his urge to over-train, pacing him (in a regimentation he claims to appreciate, and Dilson implied was necessary for the long haul, if suppressing/supplanting what many ~"used to love" about Hanyu)
...what else?
