Can you be TOO crisp in your mechanics?

..The sharp mechanics are probably why he's doing varsity...

I was told at camp this past year that I was too mechanical, and it looked robotic. The evaluator told me that my mechanics were too precise and that I needed to make them more my own, "show my personality" were his exact words. My response was "thank you," and I made the change. It is an interesting take though, because in all my previous years at camps, I have never had an evaluator tell me I was too mechanical. Hmmmm . . .

You are exactly right, for that is how it goes in our area, it will be his ability to comunicate that will keep him there and beyound
