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:
“There was no need for a feminist philosophy. My mother never stopped to think that she couldn’t do something.... You didn’t have to change the rules. Just be a strong and skilled individual, work hard, do your homework, and you can do it.”
—Katherine Berman Mariano (b. 1957)
