Andrew Tackett - OGC #142
The Open GuardCast
Andrew Tackett joins the show for a great, quick interview going over his recent performance at WNO 20: Night of Champions, where we bested PJ Barch of 10th Planet before falling out of the tournament due to a recurring back injury. We talk about his preparation for the tournament, his performance, what comes next, his injury, and the faith that drives him in life. I apologize for the bad audio quality, I have tried to fix it in Zoom before but I may have to resort to a different platform.
