The clinicians said they were knit-picking, but that is why we go to camp -- to polish our game. The recommendation -- and I worked on it at camp -- is to stand more upright (with better posture) through those particular calls.
Great advice. I'll have to stop jumping up in the air and throwing my arms up while I yell "Yahoo!" every time I call a technical. Maybe I should start yelling "Google" instead.
