You are what you consistently do...

If we go hard in practice situations (off-season) wouldn't it be that much easier when the real deal (season) comes around?

Fighter pilots have said that their simulations for war time are so intense that when they actually go into combat it's a calm feeling as they have been here before.
From what I understand in a simulation for fighter, they see situations they will have to deal with during a combat situation. The problem with summer ball, there are many situations that are not like the real season. I know many league I work we do not even handle foul situations the same and often FTs are not shot until late in the game. It is often unrealistic to use all the mechanics when you do not use all the rules that might apply to normal game situations.

What you need to work on the most is what you call. I use summer games for calling plays and getting my judgment right. I work on being consistent on calling my game, looking off ball and using my signal mechanics when appropriate. Things like table reporting and following certain rules are almost out of the question. The last thing I am worried about is switching in those games. Unless I am working a camp, I am not going to be using 3 Person mechanics during the summer anyway.

Peace
