I just don’t understand this at all. If you have to break from your current coach (tell them you are looking)BEFORE you can ask another coach, how do you know that the other coach will even have an opening? This has never been successful at our rink. There are no coaches where we skate that wiilingly let go of that hourly rate. It’s all drama and bad feelings.
I think sometimes it may be good to explain exactly to a coach why you are leaving so that it doesn’t look like you made the decision lightly and are leaving for a silly reason.
If I was a coach, I would want to know why a student was unhappy with me and wanting to leave, especially if I felt I had a strong bond with that particular student. If the student just got up and left without an explanation, I would probably feel more hurt and would always wonder what I had done to get on that student’s bad side.
