Talk to players and coaches. Your silence compounds their frustration. However, a well-timed word can let some pressure out of the boiling pot.
Don't be afraid to say, "Coach, you know what? I didn't like that call either." But make sure you don't have to say it too often.
Watch the big dogs work. Ask questions. Learn not only what they do, but why.
Go to camp.
Make sure the coaches see you sweat. They'll forgive you a lot if they see you working hard.
