Summer camp good impressions

[Tio]

My thoughts on how to make a good impression at camp:

1. Be yourself.
2. Be a good partner.
3. Be receptive to feedback - "I understand" and "thank you" should be staples of your vocabulary "yeah but" should not.

One big problem in inconsistencies among clinicians, especially at bigger camps. Find a mentor at camp...someone you trust and can talk to. Absorb as much info as you can but try to key on 3-4 big things you can work on that will show after a few assignments, and that show you are listening. NEVER get into a verbal war...you never know who is watching.

Crisp and proper mechanics will carry you a long way!

Just add to Tio's list...

4. Try to work on 1 or 2 things that are suggested to you by your evaulators in your next game.
5. Take notes.
6. HAVE FUN!!!

If the clinicians tell you something during the course of the game, making those adjustment on the spot would be even better.

Sometimes they make decisions before you get to a "next game".
