Was thinking about this today Will...... while its great that you want to make yourself the best player you can be.... you're 11... have some FUN.

Set some goals for yourself... Things you want to be able to do by 7th grade, 8th grade, 9th thru 12th ( your junior and senior year in high school can and should be a lot of fun ) Don't over think the game.
