FWIW: Sharks Ice at San Jose - Coaching Staff
http://www.sharksiceatsanjose.com/skating_lessons/PrivateSkatingLessons-2007-04-27.aspI don't know anyone, sorry. there could be other coaches that weren't listed since it's from 2007. You'd have to go there and check it out yourself.
If your skater is only taking group lessons, it's time for you to make a change since you're unhappy with her progress. Some skaters do well in groups, but many progress better with private lessons because they have to work harder - there aren't other skaters to distract/divide the coach's attention.
A group lesson program is only as good as its Director. The Director sets the tone for passing standards, educates the instructors and manages the overall program. Some rinks have a hard time finding instructors if there are better-run, competing programs. Plus, instructors have to be assigned to groups based on the student registrations. Ex: for an adult group, the instructor should be an adult with excellent verbal communication skills. A toddler class is fine with a young, inexperienced instructor who brings fun and humor. Two of the programs I used to work for put their most-experienced instructors on the lowest-level groups, where they could do the most good. There are some higher-level coaches that don't teach groups at all, so you may not have crossed paths.
A private coach can really help reluctant skaters overcome their fears and focus on proper skills. If you haven't already done so, take some time to check out the freestyle sessions at the rink. Figure out which coaches have skaters with proper skills, then talk to the parents and ask about their experience thus far.
Be very aware that the best skaters are those who have set their weekly schedule around school and skating. They don't just show up for a lesson and leave until the next one; those skaters are practicing several days each week, sometimes twice a day. Ice time and practicing really does make a huge difference in a skater's development.
At her level, your daughter should be practicing for 2-4 hours each week in addition to her lesson.
Now, if she's in a private setting now, you should talk to her coach about your technique concerns. It could be that your daughter needs more ice time or it's time for a coaching change.
