I'll throw some things out there for you... sayings that I've found to be true:

1. People need to follow through their plans... just like a tennis player needs to follow through when he hits the ball on the serve. So follow your passions and see them through to the end. I hope you get some new innovation and learning experience and share with us the outcome!

2. Top down design, bottom up implementation. You now have the plan... break it down to small goals and start to form some implementation strategies. It's time to get down from the dream cloud to face reality!

3. Don't waste your time shuffling/organizing chairs on the titanic. As we get older we realize how precious time is and how little of it we really have. As a team player you have a responsibility to your team as well as following your passion... try to find a happy medium in there. Is your time invested in this taking away what you can contribute to your team? What is the biggest fire or issue with the team that needs help. What can you do this summer to be ready for next year... to overcome known mistakes learned from this season etc. My biggest regret in life is not being a better team player when I was younger.

The sayings in 2 and 3 come from my boss/mentor and I've adopted them as my own, and I'm passing them down to you. Good luck! Whatever the result... it will be a great learning exercise!
