Hey Micah, paintball in those days, and here I am talking about late 80's and early to mid 90's was completely different.
As far as the teams were concerned at that time, training was something you did maybe once every two months and then all you did was just play.
Basically, the pressures were vastly different and players could be on a pro team and not play that well, and remember he was not playing for anybody like Aftershock, Ironmen or All Americans, he was playing for a very minor pro team, leastwise I think they were pro.
He did a journeyman job of playing on that team but Fred was more of a character than a player.
He was larger than life in the charisma department and added a bit of much needed colour to the tournament circuit at that time.
He used to swan about with slicked back, gelled hair and dark glasses, larging it right up, but a great player, Nah, sorry, great bloke yeah, but not a great player.
