After a long period of time from March-September 2020, I finally joined figure skating classes. I was brand new to the club and this was the only coach that there was at the time. So I started taking group classes with her. A month later another coach arrived. But I didn't know about this new coach as I wasn't familiar with the club.
So, two months into coaching, I noticed that my current coach wouldn't pay much attention to the class (as in she would look at her phone or elsewhere during the class). I wasn't sure if I was just noticing all the tiny details. Then in december, my current coach took two days of leave and I had the new coach as a substitute. This new coach was really friendly and there was this click and to be honest I loved that class because he gave me tips my current coach didn't give/comment on and even helped me with a new jump. The next week, most of the students in my same timing slot moved to other timings/I don't really know what happened to them. So it was just me with another kid and yes even if she does pay attention I feel like she doesn't really give a lot of advice that actually helps. When the other student doesn't arrive and it's just me I've noticed her mostly not paying attention/ occasionally correcting me.
(I'm not sure if this is a big detail or me over-analyzing things, but I've noticed that she wears hockey skates. So doesn't the fact that she doesn't want to buy another pair of figure skates mean she's not commited? (I don't know if I'm just being judgemental))
Most of my skater friends said the new coach teaches really well. But if I take group classes with him it will be with 4 other students. I don't know if it's better to stay with my current coach (as there's just one more student so I guess I'll get more attention) or if it's better to change. But I do know that I wouldn't have gotten my loop jump ( in such short time) without his help as my current coach kept teaching the same things and nothing new.
I don't want to hurt my current coach's feelings either. Sorry for the long post, but I don't know what to do.
