One of the most common questions that I end up getting is, hey, should I email so-and-so coach? And oftentimes there's kind of two major holes in that thought process. Number one is, you know, the coach can't even respond. So like your best case scenario is like, hey, yeah, keep me posted on tournaments. But in all cases, you know, they probably just aren't even going to respond, so it doesn't make a ton of sense.
