“Maybe he’s been practicing away from the nets sometimes, but his technique and I don’t think he always has the best technique. He’s been criticized for not having a lot of footwork, being very comfortable in the crease, his hands flow very well and he it was nice to see because she stayed, you know, she stayed the same and stayed true to herself,” Jonty Rhodes said, as quoted by SportsTak on the Aleena Dissects youtube channel.
