ranjo,
This is your sixth year it is time to develop your own game based on your present knowledge and experience
Do not waste your time trying to match your partner, as I did.

BIG Temptation, but BIG Mistake!
I know.

If you continue trying to match a different partner every game, you have no identity. You have only mish-mash!
I know.

If a coach sees you with three different partners and three different games, he doesn't know what to expect... you're inconsistent!
I know.

Develop your own game personality now. The sooner the better.
I know.

Yes, take tips from your partners, learn from them, but call your own game. It is not too soon! It is not too late!
I know.

Establish a starting point. Then adjust your thoughts as you learn and grow, and not because you changed partners.
I know.

Then, after you have Your game defined within your thoughts and philosophy,
  • Use it, don't lose it.
  • Trust it, don't rust it.
  • Believe it, don't leave it.
  • Amend it, don't pretend it.
  • Work it, don't shirk it.

    I know!
