Re: Knee Savers?
It may not be exactly laziness, but it kind of lets my guard down. I get too relaxed while I'm out on the field, and that's when I make mistakes, not necesarilly lazy, just more relaxed, and not as attentive. I don't know why, but they just do that to me. I may have to go back to them, since I have most likely torn my acl, so not wearing them may no longer be an option, in order to be able to catch again next year. O well, I will just have to work harder.
