Those of us who have to adapt to new teams try to do it as soon as possible, but there are no magic tricks. Just working and being helped by experience, gathering that data and information that can help us perform at our best. We’ve already seen how quickly, if you do a good job, suddenly all that criticism turns to admiration and that’s our sport.
