Best Coaches in USA

Sorry, I am bored...

If you could coach with or pick any coach out there for you child.. Who would you pick? Where are the coaches located??

I've actually been pretty happy with the two coaches we've had. I wouldn't trade them even for someone famous.

That is a hard question since I know some of those coaches credentials and how they look but I have no idea of their perosnalities. Some months ago my daughter had the oportunity to take a class from a famous local coach. I was not happy at all. He was so full of himself and it made it look like you as a parent had to workship him or something. I fell very uncomfortable. Anyway I could never afford him so it was not an issue.
Just to put some names I like Brian Orser (no idea how he works but he looks cool) and Tom Zakrajsek's team (I like the fact that is a team and not just one guy).

I know there are many wonderful coaches. My DD has loved all of coaches, even in her learn to skate classes. Her favorite? She had a chance to work with Frank Carroll a few times and totally loved him. I loved watching him take her by the hand while he talked to her. She had a wobbly back scratch spin he perfected in one 20 minute session and it made such a difference in her skating. So she would vote for Frank Carroll, and I would too. A truly wonderful man.
