Polo has taught me feeding my kids. Gusy left Argentina in 2002 when things went wrong, and polo changed his life. Gusy was never a professional, but he worked as a professional polo player for 6 years in UK and former Polo manager of Ham Polo Club in London — www.hampoloclub.org.uk — Gusy is a gifted team leader and excellent polo instructor. His way of articulating game tactics is inspirational. During the King’s Cup 2008 when Captaining the USA team, he reminded histeam, “you have to give the ball kisses” (to remind them to have a hard grip, swing slowly and follow through). He also says, “hit all the hits,” and “tranquilo.”
Right now he runs his own Polo Institute in Windsor A.C Polo
