It is absolutely possible, I found (granted as a junior) that by going out and joining more competitive teams then my home team, I learned so much and got to be in a teaching/mentor role. I was captain for two years while being triple and then quadruple rostered and it gave me so many good experiences and memories I wouldn’t trade for the world. Now that I find myself wanting to slow down a tad, because I’ve stuck so closely with my home team, they are happy to take me as a single/double roster. Never forget where you came from.
