I'm not coordinated enough to do it. My whistle would be on the floor as much as it would be in my mouth.

It takes some practice. But I started out of completely forgetting my lanyard during a summer game.

Peace

I don't have the dexterity to move my whistle between fingers so that I can properly display numbers.

I myself do not use a lanyard. I have what tape of myself with and without one. When I go without one, I have a slower and more patient whistle. I can’t explain why this is, but the video doesn’t lie.
