Adam Parrish is exploring how one gets better at bridge and advances to the next level—be that from intermediate to advanced or expert to world class. Adam is an expert player himself—a national champion and a Master Teacher—but he's looking to get to the next level, and devoting the year to figuring out what that takes. Adam will be talking to world-class bridge players about how they got to where they are and what they do to maintain and hone their game. He'll also talk to non-expert bridge players about how they work to get better, and to experts in fields outside of bridge.

Raj Shourie
<p>Rajath Shourie was introduced to bridge as a child by his family, but didn't really play until he had retired from his career in distressed debt investing. He took up the game during Covid, learning online, and went to his first in-person duplicate at the Austin NABC in late 2021. <br>Since then he has had a number of successful finishes, including wins in the world transnational teams in Argentina, the Soloway Knockout in San Francisco, and most recently the US Team Trials. <br>He lives in Pacific Palisades, California, with his wife Moira, and their two sets of twin boys.</p>

Danny Miles
<p>The year is 1990. A teenage Danny Miles is introduced to bridge by his grandmother, Frances — proving once again that grandmothers are the game’s most effective recruiters.</p><p>The hobby stuck. Danny went on to win four Canadian Open Championships and one Mixed title, along with representing Canada internationally.</p><p>In addition to playing, he has dabbled in bridge administration — serving on his local unit board and helping organize the 2024 Toronto NABC — confirming he’s now fully immersed on all sides of the game.</p><p>For a stretch, career and family limited his tournament schedule, but with semi-retirement and two daughters (9 and 7) getting older, a return to more frequent appearances seems likely. Perhaps, following the Wolperts and De Wijs’s, with kids in tow?</p><p>He also mentors Canadian juniors, some as young as 12 — doing his part to ensure the next generation has someone to blame when they fall in love with the game.</p>
