[edit] Introduction

Mark is an aggressive player, slalom kayaker, and well known troublemaker. He has been paddling slalom since the Earth began cooling. A little known fact is that he's a geology major. Despite his age, recent carbon dating places him somewhere in the Triassic era, Mark Poindexter is a very agile player while in the water, although his left knee bothers him on land. He was coach of the US Under 21 team in 2003, 2004, and 2005. (And still is, as of November 2005). Mark is considered by some to be the best player in the country, despite his incredible age. But go easy on him, we wouldn't want to hurt his feelings.
