Answer
Hi Patrick,

Let me think about it and I will get an answer to you tomorrow. Off the top of my head you seem to be putting more pressure on yourself when it comes to the high school league. Ask yourself why and once you understand this maybe you can relax a little bit more when playing in the high school league. I will have more tomorrow.
