Linus continued training with the team as the last week of summer vacation was coming to an end. Each practice felt more intense now that the start of the school year loomed, and Linus knew he had to make the most of his free time before it started and his schedule would tighten. With team practices still in full swing, Linus had to find a balance between working on his weaknesses and keeping up with the team's demanding drills.
It wasn't easy, but Linus also felt like his recent decision to add extra fielding drills into his daily routine was starting to pay off somewhat, though managing everything was a challenge. He knew it would only get tougher once school began.
The team practices were a different kind of grind compared to his solo sessions. Coach Chris pushed them hard, focusing on defensive positioning, turning double plays, and fast-paced infield drills.
