But it's something we have to learn how to do. Besides, I love Adam's point about being able to speak with a coach without either party yelling across the court, or staying by the bench to make it obvious.

My goal for this year is to improve my communication skills and hopefully bring down the number of T's I hand out. I'm hoping an improvement in communication will help de-escalate a handful of the technicals. Maybe a higher comfort level being closer to the coaches will follow as I improve that area. This will be my first year with a varsity only slate through each week with my only sub varsity being Saturday booster tourneys, so hopefully with that many games with a bit more at stake, I'll feel more comfortable, confident, and look less like the new guy on all of my crews.
