Just for curious. This is a follow up to the
[http://skatingforums.com/index.php?topic=6260.msg72883#msg72883]PSA solicitation policy[/url]
thread.
I expected the kind of advertising you see among retail stores, or among coaches in some other sports, where stores or coaches routinely explains why they are better than all other stores or coaches.
But my most recent ex-coach thinks it isn't happening any than when it was against the rules, because coaches want to avoid unpleasantness. I haven't seen a change myself, but I don't attend the sessions where it would be most likely.
Has the change made any difference to the way coaches behave?
E.G., have you seen seen a coach approach a skater or parent who has another coach, and try to steal them away? Or hand out business cards, e.g., to group lesson students? Or advertise through students - "My coach is better than your coach."
Is it too soon to know?
