Also, if you have room by the mirror, practice doing your preliminary, taking a couple of steps to the "reporting area" then stopping and doing your table thing. This has helped me make moving, coming to a complete stop, and reporting more automatic.

You may also want to check yourself by closing your eyes and practicing individual mechanics aspect (fist up straight, traveling signal, etc.), then open your eyes and see if you really look like how you envision yourself looking. That's useful for making you more aware of how it feels to do it properly. 'Cuz at game time we have to do it entirely by feel.

Thanks for the advice. I did try using all the number combinations, and I'll return to that while working on my timing as I incorporate some movement into my practice.
A side note to my mirror time practice is that my dogs don't like my practice to include the use of a whistle. Evidently the Fox 40 really bothers them.
