I believe there is a difference between staying loose (and possibly helping others to do so in the process), and being a nuisance/distraction. My son is also one that I consider goofy--but he, too is a team leader and he keeps other guys loose. For example, it is not at all uncommon for me to look at him on the mound in a pressure situation and see his mouth moving...if I listen closely, I can hear him literally singing a song out loud. Odd? Definitely. Is he unfocused and a distraction? Not at all. I'd tell him "be yourself...respectfully."
