"I'm very grateful that Bruce O'Neil, coaches Nash and Gaillard, and their counterparts from China are willing to share their time and talents at this youth clinic," Hannemann said. "It's not often that our young people have an opportunity to be coached by those at the professional level, and I know they'll gain a lot from the experience."
