Hi Jack

I want to thank you for what you do. Which is unveiling the truth about what it takes to be successful at what is considered to be the most difficult task in sports. Opinion is the foundation on what most people teach. This slow motion footage is evidence beyond the shadow of a doubt of the REALITY of what should be taught. Acceptance of being wrong is difficult for most people, and impossible for a very few who would rather close their eyes and believe an opinion they want to cling to because it has become a part of who they are.
