Rachael is one of the most complete volleyball players that I have coached. Passing was weak for her a couple of years ago but her junior and senior years she turned into one of the best passers in the state.

How do you ever know if it's enough? To me, I guess one definition that it's enough is does the individual know it's wrong? Does the individual know that it's illegal?

I certainly know that at the senior high school, they would know that.

It takes constant practice and reinforcement, in terms of our cognitive development of our brain. The younger you start a foreign language, the more likely you are to develop proficiency in it ... a student who is 18 has a leg up on someone who is 40, just like an elementary student will have a leg up on a college student, and may have a chance to achieve near-native proficiency.
