“Coaching the Game so that the kids master the critical details that they need to
learn at a young age, is what I’m most passionate about. I’m more interested to see
how good the player is when he’s 18, after receiving quality instruction, rather than
comparing him to others his age when he still has so much to
learn and practice.”
