A coach can cope with the problem, and Eteri has been coping for 2 seasons. But the skater him/herself has to want to cope. People are given FREE CHOICE..... Don't you westerners believe in "free choice" and "individuality"? i am starting to doubt....
Make her skate - evil. Let her not skate - evil.... "evil everything" only if it is the coach is the one some-one does not like because of her success.
Sarah Hughes' coach also did not hold her from retiring after Sarah decided to leave the sport after winning Olympics to get an education.
Polina Edmunds' coach also did not stop Polina from going to college, where she developed new friendships and interests, posted many happy photos, and now is skating for fun....
Osmond also, won all she could, realized it is the most she can win, and retired......
Sotnikova won Olympics, and got side tracked after it... Buianova and her "god-father" Tarasova, in spite of all the yelling and convincing, were not able to bring her back. She tried with Plushenko..... and still never returned. She was 16 when she won the Olympics, and did not do much in competitive sports since... Do we have any hysterics over Buianov, Tarasova, Plushenko "not doing enough" for her?
Some tried for years, and did not win anything, or less than they wanted to, and retired... (long list of names).
Some tried for years, finally won something big, and immediately retired... (long list of names).
Some started young, had some success and left before anything major was accomplished.... (long list of names).
Eteri is "King of the Hill" and people are simply trying to bring her down. It's obvious, and it is blunt.
