"...I set out on a goal of 100 hours of deliberate polo practice. Using only an excel spreadsheet to track focus areas, hours in the saddle, and costs, I developed a program that would productively emphasize riding and game play. I decided on 100 hours because it encouraged that I train at least two hours a week for 50 weeks.

Now that I’ve not only reached, but exceeded the 100 hour goal, I felt it only right to share with the next crop of aspiring polo players the most important lessons and habits gained from my experience."
