Here's a situation my little skater presented me with this morning:
"Coach X (regular edges/MITF coach) tells me I need to do back power pulls this way, but Coaches (Y & Z, group edges and flow and movement coaches) tell me I need to do them this way. I don't know what to do."
So, what to do? She's working with X on Pre-Juvenile MITF of which back power pulls are a part. Do we tell Y&Z, leave her PP alone, X says do it this way (leaning this way)? Does she do it one way with one coach and the other way with the other 2? Seems like that would just be too confusing.
I don't know if it's a style issue or a true technical issue that would result in a "retry" if done one way and not the another. I'll be looking for a reference video that shows what a (passed) Pre Juvenile back PP is supposed to look like so I can show her.
This is the first time we've run into this issue, though probably not the last, since she refuses to give up her Saturday group classes with different coaches and different styles than her regular coach.
