1.   The willingness of the player to perform inspired by the coach is the pivotal factor.

 2.   One’s skill and dexterity must be brought up to match the speed of the modern game.

 3.   The ability of the student to duplicate motion, to whatever degree, must be established.

 4.   Sometimes one finds that what one has learned he can not apply. If so the fault lay with        improper study, with the teacher or text.

 5.   In any activity quite a bit of what passes for “talent” is really the result of proper practice        and technique.

 6.   Fixed ideas and set patterns restrict free motion. The person who has not learned to shift        one’s “mental gears” fast enough in response to new circumstances (stimuli), will lose the        contest.

 7.   There is a vast difference between “good enough” and “professional skill and dexterity”.        The gap is bridged with the repetitive practice of proper technique.
