Spent the day with Joe on a fat and wonderful Harlot at NSOP. Though it was his first day on ice, Joe was eager to learn and we got his technique dialed in so he could try some steep columns and a little mock multipitch practice! Love these one-on-one days where so much progress can be gained in just a few hours. 🙌
