James is one of those kids who shows up to a game or practice and makes an immediate impact in the team environment. He isn't the hype or energy man, but shows everyone equal respect. My opinion, is a goalie that can connect with all different players is one that you want leading your defense. Communication 20 minutes prior to practice allows for different channels to be opened up during a game situation when tensions are high. The demeanor James has during these situations is one that he can certainly hang his hat on because you can't tell a difference. Up 10 or down 2 goals in the 4th quarter his poise is the same. When his response to teammates in a tight game is calm and collected it allows for other teammates to feel that as well. If his progression continues which I know it will he will be a integral part on a great team in a big time game in the future.
