Your Professionalism vs. your partners

[OverAndBack]

Just in the short time I've been doing this, I've noticed there are different ideas of what should be done and how one should carry oneself (not just in this sport), but you can't worry about it. Sometimes it's frustrating when someone else (in your game or another one) doesn't seem to be taking things as seriously as you do. But as a relatively new guy, I'm not going to say anything to someone who's been at it awhile. I just do things the way I've been taught and that's all I can do. If I ever work with a partner who's less experienced than me (hard for someone to be less experienced than me), I'll point things out constructively, as long as I get the sense they are receptive to feedback. We all know that no matter what endeavor you're involved in, there are some people who just don't want advice or feedback. Let those people go on, and just do the best you can personally. Hopefully stuff sinks in eventually.
