How do I tell my coach I want to drop them and go with someone else? And can I request a specific person?

You just fill out an online form on dnet for a new coach and you can request someone specific in the form. You don’t technically have to ever tell your current coach but ideally you would let them know, especially when the switch is off cycle. You can use pretty much any professional “excuse” (you’ve been aligned to them for x # of years and would like to learn from a new coach with a different perspective, you are in x area and would like to be aligned with someone in the same area, or want to learn from someone not in your area of expertise, etc.). Also, there’s a freeze period on coach switches around the year end timeframe but with the new Covid accelerated performance year timeline, I’m not exactly sure when that is. If you’re going to do it, I’d put in the request ASAP. You can request someone but also be prepared that you may not get your first choice if they already have a lot of coachees.
