I have also heard positive storys about him! Even from one of the
skaters of the topteam! He was really satisfied about his
coachingskills! maybe he doesn't have a lot of coachingexperience yet
but he has had a very long career as topskater and that also counts
and is very good in my opinion because he knows by own experience how
it is to be a topskater. And it is a good thing that the talents can
learn about that this way!
And there are a lot of former skaters who became coach immediatly
after their skatingcareer and got (very) good results! For example
Gianni Romme with Anni Friesinger.
So I think Saetre is a perfect coach for the talents and in the
future probably also for the topteam
