John: You have already shown your committment by getting yourself into good physical shape. 45 pounds is a lot less weight to carry around (your feet and knees will appreciate it). Put as much effort into your clinic, and ref as many games as you can, and you will be well on your way. Take your time. It takes four to five years of experience for most people to feel they really know what they are doing on the court. It hits you one day, "Hey, I really know what I am doing out here." But the learning keeps happening. Your wife will probably be glad you are getting the exercise and enjoying yourself. Best of luck to you.
