Exploring Your Options ("Shopping Around")
-
Prioritize the Right Fit: It is entirely normal and acceptable to look for a coach who best fits your skating style, goals, and personality.
-
Transparency is Key: If you would like to experiment or take a trial lesson with other coaches, please establish this with Coach Annalisa first. Simply explain that you are looking for the right fit. Full honesty and transparency with both coaches are required to maintain a professional and positive environment at the rink.
更换教练的步骤：
和你的教练谈谈想换另一位教练的想法以及原因（尝试解决任何你不满意的事情）。为您的团队增加一名教练可能比完全更换教练更有帮助。 如果你们双方都不能同意新的条款，那么教练/学生的关系将会结束，但是在被允许切换到新教练之前，必须支付所有到期的款项。
联系您要转换的教练。留下来很重要
与你以前的教练相处融洽，并与你的教练开始一段新的关系
新教练。
3. 始终表现出体育精神，永远不要说你以前的教练/教练/其他滑手的坏话。
