"Talk about it down to earth knowledgeable Coach, Chris is amazing. I highly recommend him, he doesn’t claim to be the best player in the world, but rather knows the game extremely well and obviously, he plays well too He works with your gay IQ, which I have come to learn is more important than your actual skills or athleticism and is why you see so many older people crushing some of the younger people even though they’re not that’s the same athletic level.
