As long as you are not jailbait.

I am sure Moskvina could be a musician if she wanted to be though...

Robin Cousins because he could teach me how to make the transition to show bizz when I could no longer jump. (I'm thinking beyond the skating career that I don't have).

**arakwafan2006** · 11-26-2012, 02:52 AM

It would depend on where i was developmentally.
Men with Jumping Issues: Kristy Krall, John Nicks, Mishin.
Men Total package but needs help with packaging: Tarasova/Buinova, John Nicks/Tarasova or Nichol, Mushin/Zueva
Men with artistic issues but good jumping: dunjen/sato ( they have proven ineffective IMO at fixing jumps) Any coach where Tom Dickson worked. Again, Russian coach with Tarasova assisting. I would also like to see a top male skater work with Peter Tchernechev (too lazy to sp check)

Dance Teams...
I would most likely go to Igor Shpilband flat out.

Pairs:

Moskvina- in need of minor tweeks on elements but needs big style change

Sappenfield: Needs help with elements but strong in presentation and style ( her skaters positions, body line etc. are generally mediocre at best) but she teaches elements VERY well.

Johnny Johns/Marina zueva

I've always thought if I had a skater daughter she'd be packed and ready to be sent to John Nicks. You can always tell a Nicks skater. If I had a son he would start out with Mishin. If it were I, I'd go to Mark and Peter.

I thought it was Morosov that requires his teams to go flat out. Or at least the girls

**DimaToe** · 11-26-2012, 03:52 AM

Assuming I'd want to stay in the US

-Singles: Mitchell& Johansson, they seems to have a good approach toward their skaters. Choreography would be Jeffrey Buttle of Stephane Lambiel.

-Pairs: Oleg Vassiliev, Although id keep a good eye on my partner

Choreography would be Peter Tchernyshev or Julie Marcotte.

-Dance: Igor Shpiland, just for the chance to work with Skary Babs :voids: Choreography...hmm,will have to think on that one.

**Cherub721** · 11-26-2012, 04:02 AM

Dance: Platov, but I'd use various choreographers (Dean, Rushpaul, Swan, Zhulin)

Pairs: Steuer

Singles: John Nicks, but with Mishin's summer jumping camp. I guess Buttle for choreography, he's the CoP codewhore master extraordinaire.

**Vash01** · 11-26-2012, 04:18 AM

Singles- I would go to Mishin or Orser

Pairs- Moskvina

Ice dance- Tarasova or Shpilband

**bardtoob** · 11-26-2012, 05:29 AM

From the very beginning through at least my first Olympics, I would want to learn from Frank. If I had to switch from my coach at the local mall after five or six years, I would want Krall or Orser for singles and Nicks for pairs.

In an alternate universe, there could be worse things than ending up in Mishin's stable, even if I had little choice in the matter.

From Mishin's stable you may actually have a chance of winning the OGM.

how many success did Tarasova had in Pairs coaching ? ironic huh

**merrywidow** · 11-26-2012, 07:10 PM

[QUOTE=aftershocks;3754860]Singles skater: Mark Mitchell and Peter Johansson

Thanks for the name correction aftershocks & my apologies to Peter.

**Primorskaya** · 11-26-2012, 08:27 PM

Morozov of course!

Just kidding.

I think I'd need a grumpy old man to kick my ass into line, a kind of father figure my unruly self wouldn't mess with. That means Mishin or Carroll.
But I want choreo by Lambiel or Buttle!

**sk8ingcoach** · 11-27-2012, 12:50 PM

Im pretty sure that Tatiana Tarasova taught Irina Rodnina/Alex Zaitsev and maybe Gordeeva/grinkov.

so she must be pretty good.

**Artifice** · 11-27-2012, 03:54 PM

Kulik, Orser, and for choreography / politics Tarassova.

She did coach R&Z, but she only coached G&G during their pro years, I believe.

**FunnyBut** · 11-27-2012, 04:38 PM

Mark Mitchell or Ken Congemi. I wouldn't win anything with either as my coach, both are far too

for me to concentrate. That's OK, I just want a coach who is
