Training with his coach today

So today Mrs. Donna (Christopher’s mom, one of T’s teammates) explained the ”New” USAT rules to me further. And now going to US Open may be something T should still do because win or loose he gets seeding points for just stepping on the mat to fight. Let’s say he goes to US Open and beats someone seeded higher than him then he gets what they call SF (strength factor) points as well. So he gets his points for the event plus those points and that ups his ranking points. This is a big deal because these points roll. What that means is that those points will stay in his ranking points until he does the US Open again next year so he keeps his ranking. Right now he’s 12th in the Nation so getting ranking points to get him ranked higher is a big deal. Now we have to sit down again and discuss whether this is something we can financially do at this time and if we can get a coach for him for this event. Lots to take in and I’m not sure I’m explaining it to where you all can understand but just know ranking points are huge. Here are some pics of T stretching with his coach:
