transitioning from 2 whistle to 3 whistle

Maybe ask some questions but listen when the clinicians give you pointers. I had a couple say totally opposite things but no point in getting in a disagreement or having an excuse. "Shut up and listen" When your center step down toward the rim for the rebound and watch your primary but if you see a foul missed that might be out of your primary(not by much) then don't be afraid to call it. Be careful there as you can get chewed out for both.

Essentially, I've determined that the best result from getting opposite advice from clinicians (sometimes back to back) is hearing both sides of it and allowing myself to develop my own philosophy. Clearly, that only goes so far, but I'm more amused by "opposing clinicians" now than anything else. Used to annoy me....

also get sleep, don't stress out about the games and just try to take in what you can. I kind of burned out my first camp but my understanding and techniques really improved as the camp went on. For first time campers it can be a big adjustment so just try to keep positive even if you make mistakes.

Based on your posts, I'm guessing it was this kind of camp.
