I’ve made the decision I need to switch to a different moves/freestyle coach. I’ve been working with this coach for 4+ years and have been considering leaving them for awhile now. I already went down to one lesson a week with them a few months ago to accommodate a new dance lesson and to give myself a much needed break from this coach.
I at first was going to give it until Spring and see if things improved but I’ve decided I need to pull the band aid off and fully stop working with this coach. This coach pretty much taught my how to skate though, and even though I am very frustrated with them, I want to end things respectfully. They’re also planning out competitions for me to go to and test sessions, so I feel like I shouldn’t wait too long.
Any words of wisdom? I’ll probably wait until the new year bc I don’t want to be the grinch right before the holidays. I feel like I’m going to have to have this conversation with them on the ice at the start of one of my lessons, as that's the only time I see them. Do I thank them and just be vague about needing a change or do I give a couple of specific reasons?
Thanks in advance! I usually have no issue confronting people, but I'm very anxious about this.
