Coaching Change
Meissner was coached by Pam Gregory from 2003 through 2008.
Before the 2008 U.S. Championships, Meissner worked on her spins with Todd Eldredge. Following that competition, Eldredge called her with more input on her spins and recommended his long-time coach Richard Callaghan.
Meissner made the choice to switch coaches from long-time coach Pam Gregory to a temporary arrangement with Richard Callaghan in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. She trained with Callaghan for the six weeks between Nationals and the 2008 World Championships. During the off-season between the 2007–2008 and 2008–2009 seasons, she worked with both Callaghan and Eldredge. Both Callaghan and Eldredge coached Meissner during the 2008–2009 season.
In the fall of 2009, Meissner moved back to Maryland. She began being coached by Chris Conte, who has also choreographed ice show programs for her.

Famous quotes containing the word change:
“I know what love is. It’s understanding. It’s you and me and let the rest of the world go by. Just the two of us living our lives together happily and proudly. No self-torture and no doubt. It’s enduring and it’s everlasting. Nothing can change it. Nothing can change us, Ollie. That’s what I think love is.”
—Dewitt Bodeen (1908–1988)
