“I believe to fully understand and teach the game at it's highest level you must have played at its highest level.  The reaching of this plateau necessitates the spending of countless hours practicing, analyzing and repeating every complex move the game calls on you to deliver and to deliver under the pressure of the Major League stage. There is so much more to the game than perfect mechanics, which I believe are imperative. It’s the mindset, the mental toughness, the ability to deal with adversity, the ability to visualize and strategize in real time, the capacity to make quick and accurate decisions at decisive moments in a game… these things can all impact performance far more than just the mastery of the technical skills. Helping develop that instinct in a player can make the difference between him being good and being a gamer.”
