Coach Spider-man

We found out today that Troy's coach for ninja class was actually a stunt double for Andrew Garfield in The Amazing Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 movies.  Long before Frank Chapman was teaching ninja warrior skills to little kids, he was an aerialist and ninja warrior himself.  He apparently utilized those skills to create Spider-Man's iconic web-swinging moves for the movies.  

His high-flying spin moves and body contortions were perfect, but alas there is only so much need for Spider-Man stuntmen, and he needed another way to pay the bills.  We were lucky enough to get him as a coach.  I guess there's always a chance to Troy can pick up some of Coach Frank's experience and use it to forge his own path.  The sky is literally the limit!
