Due in part to the fact that, thanks to his intuition and great experience, he is the great discoverer of Javi Demaria, a kid who surprised him from the first time he saw him playing at the top and who hopes and trusts his witness and leads the world from the top to its highest levels.We know that an affirmation of such caliber is the result of that humility that only the big ones have, although taking into account the trajectory of the young Javi Demaria, it is very possible that Gerardo is not misguided when affirming this. Wherever it goes, it leaves a trace; infinity of children from many different countries have begun to play at the top of the hand of Gerardo Montero sharing their ideas with him, the same that today are part of his repertoire and others that have served as inspiration for the creation of new techniques.Do you dare to send your tricks to the champion?
