Laid back practice, almost more fun than hard. All my teammates are some of my best friends and we all have great chemistry. If it werent for them, I wouldnt want to be on the team. I dont really get much time in game so I play for them. The only reason Im here is to be their motivation. And thats good enough for me.

He definitely had favorites on the team and didn’t really show his knowledge on the sport and what all could be fixed. If you mess up one time on the one chance he gives you to prove yourself you won’t play.
