The issues is if you yourself are not athletic and can’t even find your kid a good skating coach then you are basically throwing away your money.
What does a player's parent's athleticism have to do with finding a skating coach and/or whether or not hockey skating coaches are thing?

I think the OP means there’s only so many skating lessons you can take, a lot has to do with genetics and natural talent.
I think he means there's only so many punch turns you can do before your kid gets it and "then what?"

And how many slap shots can you take before the team says “then what?” One trick ponies don’t go far.

Either you get skating or you don't. Not much else to it.

Truthfully, and I’m just speaking from my own experience I’m not talking about anyone else’s kid except my own. I put them in every power skating class I could find and he still skates on his ankles.

So you're saying there's some truth to the above message?

My kid is 12. Gone with a dozen different power skating and other skills camps etc. over the years.

This season went with a bit out of the box guy and fixed some skating stuff that no one else was looking at. Makes you wonder everyone is else doing.

Oh, that’s good! It’s nice to hear some people are willing to spend time with their students, maybe the schools we went to where just money makers? They were not one on one lessons.

Just follow who the best kids train with. Figure skating coaches are a waste of money. My kid hates it. We were lucky enough to meet the best trainer that can skate, shoot and stick handle better than any coach I have seen. He is great at explaining it and gives my kid off ice workouts to help fix some of the technique issues. Figure skating coaches just do the same cookie cutter stuff and look like they can barely skate in hockey skates but charge $150-200. It’s like asking the guy who mows your lawn if he can lay the cement for your deck. They do not have a clue what it’s like to skate and protect the puck.
