Glad to hear you whacked him good. LOL =-) I love the red dot thing, too funny. If my coach would do this I might just wear the stupid skirt he wants. Double axels are only in my dreams. I can over rotate axels on the floor! This will be the only place I do this too. Congrads on your two foot double axel. Pretty awesome. Sorry Florida is a poopie spot to skate.

Yeah Chico!! You want to see FUNNY?? Craig Maurizi can be hilarious (or rediculous depending on the situation) at times!! I recall one day he tried to stand on his head...on the ice that is!!!! Nothing beats it when a coach is teaching in their sneakers and FALLS!!! awww.... mean, but funny (as long as they're ok, of course!
 ) Thanx on the double axel. I can't jump on the floor (or off ice at all) on account of my achilles tendonitis which positively kills. Ah well, life in the big city, eh?? What I wouldn't give to be like one of those little 12 year olds with triple jumps (clean of course! ), no hips, no pain, no boobs.... eeek.But in all actuality, coaches can be NUTZ at times... "What was that?? Was that supposed to be a jump??? oh sorry, that was your double axel... looked more like a... you know what? I don't know what the hell that was!"  Although as my training bud Joel sed, "You don't do butterflys, you do catapillars!!!"  "So uh, when you plan on doing the jump?? next year??? when I'm geriatric??" my response, "Too late, you're already geriatric...or didn't you get the memo?" Sighs...could go on for hours... I have a feeling I'll be that type of coach... god help figure skating!!!! Ahhh...we should compile all this and write a book of coaches sayings.... could be interesting!!! Pieces everyone!! *patt99*

Didn't I start the thread and trend to rat on our skating coaches about the things they say on the old FSW? ROTFLOL I'm so mean.
Tuesday, I was just going to watch in the stands with my firend as I passed my coach on the way to the stands near the ice pad opening who said to me, "You got your hair cut." I said, "Yeah, Pam did it." Then she said, "You're brave." Like going through surgery is not brave and learning to skate as an adult is not brave but getting a hair cut that can grow back if it's messed up is? Brigitte singerskates

LOL!!
This reminded me of this one lesson I was having when my coach started singing about my badly travelling spins while I was entering a 1 foot spin. I ended up laughing so hard in the middle of the spin that I almost fell. There was this other time when my friend and I were having lessons at the same time and occupied the same space on the center of the rink. The two coaches bantering each other... Friend's coach : HOI! Share the space lar!! Half- half can or not? My Coach : Can not! Friend's coach : Why? My Coach : Cos I say so. The two of us found it amusing.....it's just one of those days....

pattern 99,
I wonder if our coaches know how amusing we find them some days? Hmmmmmmm Bet they say the same about us! Seriously, some days you better laugh or you'll run screaming from the rink. This isn't a joke. Chico

Chico,
I can just IMAGINE the stories that our coaches tell about us!! So far I'm the only person who has moved a particular coach to tears and at the same time pissed him off enough to almost drop me... my fault (I called him an a-hole) for good reason too.. eeeeek!!! Ok, so not my finest moment!! Seriously though, our coaches probably have a hell of a time telling other people outside of skating about their students!!! Oh wait a sec, coaches actually have outside friends??? *patt99*

I loved SusanaO's. =-) Coaches have got to go to a school or something to come up with some of these.
pattern99...You are a brave gal. =-/ Here's my feelings on this topic. I would rather have banter with a coach than one who compliments me to death. There are a few coaches who wonderful everything at my rink. This drives me nuts! At least when my coach says, "Good", I know it is. "Good" is worth a million bucks to me because he doesn't say it often. Even better, when he "Goods" something when he's giving someone else a lesson. Bad, when you get yelled at during someone elses lesson. AND their at the other end of the rink! Chico

My coach called me "Frank" (short for "Frankenstein"... my bad arm position on my loop jump during the takeoff. She said it looks like "Frankstein.")
Another one: "You keep this up, I'm going to take a picture of that arm position and put it out on the front lawn as a SCARE CROW for Halloween."  Yet another one for a fellow skater of mine on a failed axel attempt: "That was a..... BEACHED WHALE!!!!" Cheers, jazzpants

Yeah Chico... I'm a war horse!! Funny thing is... his line was always "That was better.." and on ONE VERY RARE OCCASION (actually two) I got an "Wow, that was gorgeous" Which prompted me to need oxygen... and another time..."That was GOOD!!" so I know the feeling!! I can't stand the coaches who tell a student, "OMG, THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND CLEAN!!!" when in reality it was cheated. That's a huge pet peeve of mine. URGH!!! lol! Now, would everyone pray for me that my dad's job transfer goes through so I can GO HOME TO NJ!!!!!
 Yay, thus being reunited with these coaches....oh wow... the fun would never end!!! Lol! Chico, we're crazy I think!! Either that or our coaches were separated at birth??? Any ideas??Pieces, *patt99*

My coach, this morning, after watching us skate the Swing Dance:
"Hmm, for a moment there I thought I was at home watching the wrestling on a Sunday afternoon!" (But he admitted he was only joking).

The fellow who teaches the edge class I took this morning was telling us to make sure to bend at our knees but not our hips...because we'd wind up rocking forward and backward to keep our balance and "the next thing you know, you're looking at silver."
(He didn't mean silver medal--the ceiling of our rink is silver-colored insulation...)

The hands, ma'am!!!
My primary coach today said regarding open my hands... "Don't close those hands... unless you're giving me some M&M's!!!"
Then he said "you look like you're angry at something when you skate like that" (Regarding my clenched fist again!) Oh, THEN he saw that I have those weightlifting gloves with the fingers open. (It's to protect my wrist and keep my hands warm.) Then he said "You clench those first again and I'm gonna stick matches in those gloves on the fingers so it'll hurt when you clench your fist again! Cheers, jazzpants
