What Circle does well: “We stay together. The past couple of years have been pretty rough. This year, we’re staying together as a family, and I think that’s going to make us better.”
What has to improve: “Crispness and execution – getting our plays down to where we don’t have to think about it anymore. Just executing precisely.”
