They've previously made trips to the Phillippines and Qatar, losing in the qualifier both times. Plus, they've got a trip to China planned next month. That can't be cheap. |

For Brooke, money is not, and never will be, an issue.

For Brooke, money is not, and never will be, an issue. Thats interesting, I had assumed this was a paid coaching type gig for Brooke. I wonder how much chance they are getting to practice against international caliber teams while they are at these events because just for the tournament play entering these doesnt make much sense. |

I would have liked to have learned a little more about how this team happened/functions. I too had presumed it was some kind of paid coaching type situation. |

Don't know for sure, but the Florida connection made me think that perhaps Kennedy's Mom (a former player), or someone else in their orbit, approached Brooke with the idea of putting her experience to work in this "mentor" capacity. Kinda like Phil let Caleb Kwekel play with his group in Florida, which obviously helped bring him along pretty quickly (even though Caleb has his own backyard sand court as well). I think its a great idea for some of these older players to travel and share their wide-ranging experiences with these kids, especially if they are fortunate enough to not have money worries.

Pretty sure Pri is helping coach? She has definitely been around Brooke on tour and coached kennedy in juniors. My best guess is Brooke didn’t want to have to fly to CA to train with someone and Pri suggested kennedy then after some practices they were like hey let’s actually run this. Plus kennedy I think finished high school so has the free time to “go pro”

Thanks for the insight! |

anyone else see coakley's arm swing and worry about shoulder health? I don't think I've seen many swings with such a high elbow draw back.
