With a fist with only the index finger extended hold it out in front of the body in a horizontal position with the palm facing somewhere between the floor and the signer. Make the other hand into an "A" handshape and brush the back of the fingers of the "A" hand back and forth along the side of the extended index finger.
Point to yourself for 'I', sign 'need', then perform the 'practice' sign by rubbing your 'A' handshape back and forth over your extended index finger. Finish by signing the letters A-S-L.
Sign 'you', 'go', and 'soccer', then sign 'practice' by sliding the back of your 'A' hand fingers along your stationary index finger. Remember to raise your eyebrows throughout to indicate a yes/no question.
Sign 'practice' with a smooth, continuous rubbing motion to emphasize the ongoing process of learning. Then, transition into the sign for 'perfect' to complete the phrase.

Yes! Your dominant hand should be the 'A' handshape that moves back and forth. Your non-dominant hand should be the stationary index finger acting as the base.
Typically, you brush back and forth about two or three times. If you want to emphasize practicing for a very long time, you can repeat the motion more times and use a facial expression that shows intense effort.
No, you should stick to the 'A' handshape. Using a flat hand changes the meaning entirely and might look like the sign for 'pet' or 'surface'. Accuracy with the 'A' handshape is important.
