Thanks a lot! FigureSpins.
It's the first time we had conflict. We never change coach before.
The primary coach is in charge of everything. I wish the second coach could also work on her program but she didn't. I guess the primary coach talked with her. Now the second coach only teach things the primary coach allows her and it's not for my dd's best interest. I'm very concerning about it.
For the schedule, the primary coach is very popular and she has lots of student and it's really hard for me to get the time I want. Second coach told me that let the primary coach select the time --- whatever she wants. After setting up time with second coach for the first time, primary coach wanted that one so we had to give to her and rescheduled. So it's not easy for me to schedule a class with second coach. Is this right? The primary coach has priority for the time even I would prefer to have lesson with the other one? I'm afraid if I use schedule as the reason, the primary coach might just take all the time second coach could teach and second coach will not say anything about it. ;-(
As you said, the primary coach is very defensive. She agreed to add the coach by telling me "whatever it's good for my dd" and said differently to second coach. She was very rude when I asked her permission again to add the second coach and even yelled at me. I do plan to keep both coaches at the beginning but looks like it's really hard to handle. After adding new coach, the primary started to ignore me and my dd at the rink, refuse to help playing her music at FS session and etc. If I leave her, I'm sure she will be mad even I really don't want to hurt her feeling. She was nice to my dd before and my dd likes her. I don't want my dd gets hurt that her coach never talks with her again in the rink. If I keep her, she is already not happy and I'm concerning if she will pay enough attention to my dd based on her current attitude.
I also have concern about meeting together. The primary doesn't sound rationally to me. If the second coach has no intention to take my dd, is it appropriate to involve her into discussion? I'm also worrying about if the primary coach is not happy, the second coach will just say she can't teach my dd as she doesn't want to break the relationship with primary coach. If the primary coach spread something at the rink, my dd may end up with no coach as it's a very small world.
So in this case, is it ok if I told second coach that I have decided to quit my current coach and an she continue teach my dd after? I will not ask her to be my dd's primary coach right away. I want to give both some time. In this way, my dd probably won't be able to compete as the originally planned without a main coach.
