He [Tim Goebel] arrived at Winterhurst a raw talent in 1993 and
together Heiss Jenkins and Watts molded him into one of the country's
top male skaters and one of the sport's best jumpers. His greatest
achievement under them was placing second at the 2000 U.S.
Championships in Cleveland after landing three quadruple jumps.

"But shortly after that, Goebel became disenchanted with Heiss
Jenkins and opted to work only with Watts. The choice created great
tension in the rink. That spring, with Watts' blessing, Goebel left
to train in Los Angeles with Frank Carroll, then coach of four-time
world champion Michelle Kwan.

Thanks. That was interesting.

Thanks so much for the link. I never read the sports page off season so I missed that article.

I'm looking forward to the new ice rink being built as it is very close to home. So, I'll be sure to post all about it in Sept. when it opens.

I always hate to hear of splits like this but it sounds as if this was needed. Good luck to him in his new position.
