Of course, you would have to find the right coach. How long would that take?

Was that tongue-in-cheek, as in "the right coach FOR STICK?" :)

I suspect even I, who has been out of competitive bridge for 25 years, could think of two. OTOH, the amount ($) it would take might not be agreeable to the student. I suspect no one is being real serious here as far was wanting to commit to such a regimen.

BTW, by 'World Class' I meant top 100 in US, not top 10.
