Several old school coaches had developed skaters from an early age.
Frank Caroll coached Linda Fratianne, Michelle Kwan, and Christopher Bowman since the start of their skating careers.
Nobuo Sato coached his daughter Yuka Sato and Takahito Kozuka.
Carolina Kostner trained with Michael Huth for most of her career, although she was coached for a short period by Frank Carroll.
Some coaches meet prodigies at an early age. Some also think that communication might be easier since older skaters tend to be more strong-willed and opinionated.
