Frank was the antithesis is all the abusive coaching we now are aware of today. I hope other coaches will learn from his illustrious example.

Thank you for doing this memorial segment with Phil, perfect person to go down memory lane with, Christine is missed of course and Jonathan! It's so sad to see so many people we grew up watching leaving this world You are creating one of the best historical records of figure skating with all of your interviews with the legends. I really loved your interview with Frank from a few years ago. Was so nice to see how much he loved skating into his later years coaching anyone who wanted to learn. 💜 Thanks for keeping it real regarding Tim lol

I can’t remember a time when I watched figure skating growing up and not seeing Frank Carrol in the kiss and cry. He was such a ubiquitous presence in the skating world. His skaters speak to his brilliance. He will be missed ❤

Frank and Michelle. The duo that cemented by love for this sport.

He coached all those mentioned and so many more kids and adults at all levels whose names are known only to their families. He gave everyone the same care and attention. He was determined to share the love and respect for the fundamentals of skating to one and all who came to him. Maribel would be proud.

I remembered the interview he did with Polina Edmonds after the 2022 Olympics, he gave great insights and had zero tolerance for the doping doping. Frank was true gem in the skating community he is loved and will be missed

Thanks for mentioning this, I had never heard that interview before and enjoyed listening to it. He never minced his words, but always expressed his thoughts in a classy and articulate way. I completely agree with him that the judging system is leading the sport towards disaster.

It was great seeing Frank finally had an Olympic champion under his tutelage when Evan won in 2010.
@mikeg83753 ай бұрын
I so agree with this. I liked Evan Lysacek, but was never as big a fan of his skating as a Paul Wylie or Brian Boitano... I really wanted to see him win there for Frank. I was so happy when it happened.

I remember Frank coming into the stands at the 2010 Olympics and the warmth the crowd showed him, recognizing that at last he had coached a student to an Olympic gold medal.

Frank is more comparable to old Hollywood show business leaders like Bob Fosse, Lee Strasberg, Elia Kazan, etc.

Intersting at the end of the interview when Phil talked about figure skating as a "white upper class"sport and he mentioned a few skaters that were NOT "white middle class skaters". To me and many I am guessing, Tonya Harding was the epitome of a non "white upper class" skater who was really great!

Michelle does surprising things. She started out by taking her 8th test against Frank's advice. She always had her own agenda and mind. She was confidant.

I still think Michelle and Frank as the dream team. They created magical performances. I disagree with Phil that Tara was the better figure skater that day. Yup. I am still salty about it. I wish Frank got his gold medal with Michelle, but I am happy he finally got it with Evan. It was long overdue.

Wonderful interview. “Irreplaceable “ is such a relevant word when talking about Frank Carroll. Skating events will not be the same without Frank. Regarding the conversation about gymnastics coaches… difficult to say because gymnasts today are able to find elite coaches near their hometowns; whereas 40 years ago, the places to go if you had the best shot of going to the Olympics were Houston (not naming those coaches for obvious reasons), Allentown, PA with the Strauss’s (again, many reports of mental abuse from them), or Edmond, Oklahoma (to train in Shannon Miller’s territory). In truth, when I think of great gymnastics coaches, college coaches are the first ones that come to mind: Greg Marsden; Coach Val; Suzanne Yocolan; Sarah Patterson; D-DBreaux. The list goes on. Bart Conner said once college gymnastics is like rehab for elite gymnasts, and he’s right. Look at the number of Olympians who are now coaching in the NCAA’s.

I have to say that I had a bit of strange moment today in regards to this. I have been behind in keeping up for months, but I had this thought or inclination today that he had passed (I remember hearing he was sick with cancer). Sure enough, I checked tonight and found out why I had that thought.
