He walked into our first session wanting one thing: a consistent 60% game. Mark was a bridge player. Good one. He'd made peace with 60%. It felt realistic. I asked him a different question. "What if you played for 100%?" He laughed. Told me there's no such thing as a 100% game in bridge. Too many variables. Too much luck. I didn't argue with him. I just asked him to hold the idea anyway. Not chase it. Just hold it. Mark Lombard’s Success Story (in his own words).
