Slow down.

Use crisp mechanics all the time.

Slow down. See the entire play and then decide and then announce the decision.

Great suggestion, I would only add, look the part. Dress nice, crisp, and don't spend much time fraternizing with coaches etc.,

Show up, do your job, and get out of dodge.

Thanks
David
