In segment four we discuss with Brian, his grandfather and father and their influence in sports. 

Brian's grandfather was the trainer to the Milwaukee Bucks in the 1970's and he father was an assistant coach for Lou Lamoriello and a professional hockey coach in the ECHL.

Brian said he inherited his "chip" on his shoulder from his grandfather. He said he always played with an edge when competing in tennis and sports.
