There is no way he could ever have matched her on a technical level. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I take everything that Nate says with a grain of salt. As the CEO of TR he should leave the talking to the pro's and coaches. I don't dislike the the guy, but I don't think his voice adds any value to the talks. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
