“He did a hell of a job to study for practices and meetings,” said Udinski. “It is a lot of work to learn the system and to reach the point where it is the second nature, where he plays and does not think, and he can treat things at this speed at which he will play.
“We have a long way to go, and we have time to build this. He did an excellent job doing the effort, spending time to get to where he is right now.”
Among the objectives of Lawrence’s off -season: Generate and ultimately master the game changes and the techniques necessary in the Coen system. Lawrence said he started working on the region before the starting program officially. It was then that he started to launch after the rehabilitation of December surgery on his left shoulder (non-launch).
“I feel really good,” he said. “I was able to work on the leg game. It was a bit foreign to me, but now he feels more comfortable. Then having a ton of bank representatives during all weeks of phase 1, phase 2 and now on OTA practices. I feel more and more comfortable.
“I think it will really help me. I feel more confident with my feet aligned where I want to go – my progress and attach my feet to my progressions, be balanced and be able to cross the field quickly. I think it was really good, and I must continue to work there.
“It doesn’t come overnight. It doesn’t come in four months either. It will take some time, so continue to work on this off -season.”
Lawrence described the work a combination of fundamentals and specific changes to the Coen program.
“There are things I can work on that would make me better, more precise, a little more in time and all that, transfer my weight a little,” he said. “Then there are things that are somehow based on a system that is different. The starting point for my position, overthrowing what changes the way you drop – it was a big change, but it is more the system and what the system prefers.
