Jesse Chinchar, #18, captain of the Clearwater Knights 6 Man Tackle team, is not the biggest dog in town, but clearly one with an abundance of "fight". Standing 5 foot 8 in his junior year of high school, he managed to lead his team to victory in 10 out of 12 games played, and had a whole lot of fun in the processs. For several weeks running, he was listed as the number one top scoring high school quarterback in the NATION, on the popular web site, Max Preps.
Jesse says that Scientology and L.Ron Hubbard technology have given him an "unfair" advantage in life. When he was 13, he had an opportunity to take some basic Scientology courses that are designed to increase one's perceptions in present time. He says that the exercises he completed on his course have resulted in increased reaction time and ability to make decisions on a dime. Fast thinking and intelligence, he feels are key to being a successful quarterback. He can see the whole field at once: the guy who is trying to tackle him, the next guy after that, the receivers, the guys who are about to tackle them, and the guys that are coming in after that. All in a flash. Pressure is his friend. When he's being rushed at, he says, he has all the time in the world.
