我倒是觉得Weir之所以选择Zmievskaya,更多是因为格鲁吉亚的小MM而不是Petrenko。另外也要考虑地域的因素,比方说让Weir搬到加州去训练他肯定是不愿意的。
Weir去日本演出前,在民网a rising star上给fans留言了,谈了他换教练的原因:http://www.kataniye.com/johnny_weir/news.htm
Hello to my Angels! I hope you're all enjoying summer so far. Things with me have been hectic. The tour ended on a high note. I skated great for the majority of the shows and felt really good about the tour in general. I'm off to Japan tomorrow to perform in Champions On Ice Japan .
By now I'm sure many of you know about my coaching situation. Honestly I'd been thinking of making a change for some time now and realized it was the time to do it. It was extremely difficult to break the news to Priscilla. In the last ten years I've spent more time with her than my own mother and it hurt me a lot to do this to her. Priscilla is an amazing coach and person and we parted on mutual terms. I realized last season that she couldn't push me as hard as I needed because we both know how to work each other’s nerves. We were just too close for a healthy working relationship.
I have never been a big fan of those skaters that change coaches every few seasons so for me to make a change, it was definitely needed. I am excited to start working with Galina Zmievskaya. I think at this point in my career I don't need much, I just need someone to light a fire under me and make me work which Galina has promised to do. I chose Galina because of her knowledge as a coach and because she has many resources for the new system and for training. I will miss Priscilla, but we are still on decent terms and I know I always have a friend to call when I need her.
Before people start gossiping about my intentions with my new coach and why I left Priscilla I will say this - you don't understand anything about it unless you're me. There was no falling out, there was no drama. I left THE BEST coach in America for a change of pace and new outlook, much like I did when I used to go to Tatyana Anatolievna Tarasova. I have a lot of respect for Priscilla and my relationship with her and I don't want people spreading rumors and lies. She is the best, we just got too close and I realized it's hard to train with your "mother" every day. That's that.
Weir说,其实换教练的事他考虑了已有一段时间,而现在正是下决心的时候。对他来说,要和Hill提出分手,这个口很难开,而开口后他又感到十分心痛。毕竟Hill带了他十年,他和Hill相处的时间比和他妈妈还多。
而提到两人分道扬镳的原因,Weir说双方都有责任。他自己也意识到,Hill在上赛季不能给他强有力的PUSH,而造成这一局面的原因便是两人太熟悉、太亲近了,反而对维持一般的工作关系不利。
Weir说,一直以来他都很佩服那些经常换教练的人。所以说,如果自己要想改变,换教练是绝对必要的,所以他选择了Galina Zmievskaya。在现时现刻,Weir认为自己并不需要太多,他只需要有人能为他点亮一盏灯,为他指明动力和方向。而Zmievskya能做到这一点。Weir之所以会选择Zmievskaya,因为她执教的资历,她对新规则的了解及在训练方面的经验。
最后Weir表示,他会想念Priscilla,他们仍然是朋友,仍然会正常来往。对于近来纷纷扬扬的谣言,Weir表示他离开Hill只是为了能有更好的发展,就像他过去找老太太做教练,这是一个道理。他敬重Priscilla,敬重他们之间的感情,他不希望人们再造谣。
Weir说,Priscilla是最棒的,但他们彼此太熟悉、太亲近,每天要和“妈妈”一起训练是很困难的,仅此而已。 |
