Trent Frederic

My brother is Grant. We had an unfinished basement where we kind of made it into a roller rink type deal. So we used to get into a good amount of fights there," Frederic said.
- ALT1: ... that all three sports Trent Frederic played as a child were coached by former professional athletes? Source: The right coaching is critical for player development at young ages, and Frederic had decorated mentors in multiple sports while growing up in St. Louis. (subscription required)

Everything checks out, and ALT1 (and ALT2) is approved. I was able to access the source. I cannot approve ALT0 because Frederic mentions a "roller rink type deal" not a roller rink tout court. But I also think ALT1 is better, although I created ALT2 so that it reads more smoothly. Arbitrarily0 (talk) 15:00, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
