About the Author

Larry Sekely works and lives in the Tampa Bay area. He was introduced to paintball by his son, Jason, who was ten at the time, shortly after attending a friend's birthday paintball party at a local field. Over the next several years, Larry and his son played paintball in all their spare time and eventually began to participate in local tournaments. In the summer of 2003, they formed Team ICE with a couple of Jason's friends. By the summer of 2004, the team had grown in size and skill level and had finished at the top in tournaments in Miami, Port Canaveral, as well as Tampa. Larry currently plays for Men at Work, a team comprised of the fathers (and in one case the grandfather) of younger paintball enthusiasts. The team has a minimum age requirement of 40 years old. They play NPPL and PSP tournaments through out the United States. Larry has published two books on the subject of paintball thus far, with plans for additional books already in the works. Paintball 101, the first in the series, was published in October 2005. The second book in the series, entitled Paintball 102 was published in December 2006. Larry attended college in the state of Florida and majored in Business Management. He also is the V.P. of Purchasing for a large national homebuilder. Larry continues to be an avid fan of the sport of paintball. His involvement includes playing whenever possible, attending major tournaments and trade shows, publishing and promoting his books and free lance writing.

This review is from: Paintball 102: The Next Step: Developing a Tournament Team (Paperback)

Recently a couple of friends of mine and I started a team and we are gearing up for the local tournaments in the next couple of months. I bought this book in hopes of getting some tips, and I was not disapointed. This book has quite a few suggestions that you wouldn't think of unless you were able to watch pro teams regularly. I have taken some of the suggestions in this book and thaught about them as if they were a coach's guidence. I think it has definatly improved my game and both of my buddy's have said they can see my improvement.
