skaters...coach help?

That's kind of weird since you are nearly 18 and she has to talk to your mom about everything.

It seems like she maybe doesn't want to make you mad or feel like you aren't improving if she were to tell you all the things you do wrong. But you should definitely have a talk with her and just say that you feel it would be better if she came to you first instead of mom.

Maybe your coach knows you're not mature enough to handle criticism or problems like that. Maybe your coach knows that you might not listen to everything she has to say if she's saying something you don't want to hear.

Sit down and ask your coach specifically the reason - and be prepared to listen. This is going to cut both ways. If you ask your coach to come to you, you have to be prepared to LISTEN to everything she's got to say and not throw a strop or stop listening if she says something you don't like.

And for goodness' sake, go take remedial English classes or something. For someone who claims to be nearly eighteen, your spelling and grammar is like a six year old's.

if your eighteen why is your mom even still going with you? you should either

a) have your mom say "can you just talk to her yourself" next time she says something

or B) show her your independent enough to handle yourself and confront her about it. tell her you dont need your mommy to discipline you, you'd like her to tell you what your doing wrong.

goodluck and if you think shes too 'gossipy' then maybe you need a new coach

EDIT** well if she answers the phone tell her to say "ohh hi coach ____, i'll go get _____ so you can speak with her."

okay, you need to tak to your coach about this. tell her that if she has a problem with you she needs to talk to YOU. there is no way a problem can be resolved if she dosen't talk to you about it. tell her to be honest with you and that you would appreciate it if she would talk to you about those kinds of things and not your mom.

if you want to fix this you need to talk to her!
