Larne boss Tiernan Lynch believes marauding midfielder Leroy Millar would benefit from slowing down every now and again.
Millar - who joined the Premiership leaders from Ballymena United in the summer - has hit the grounding running since making the move to Inver Park.
The 27-year-old has been a real driving force behind Larne surging to the top of the table. They currently sit five points clear of nearest rivals Cliftonville ahead of tonight's game against Coleraine.

The midfielder's GPS stats prove it, with Millar covering an average of around 14km in every game.
And while Lynch welcomes the industrious attitude of his summer signing, he believes the player would benefit from "stopping" every now and then.
"I think he covers about 14km a game. There are actually times where we want him to stand still, because if he did that then he would probably get a bit more of the ball," Lynch said.
"He makes those runs and finds spaces. He is very open and takes advice and takes the coaching points you do with him on board.
"It's just a balance with him - when he needs to stand in the pocket and when he needs to break the line."
Lynch hailed Millar's performances this season, with the midfielder also scoring six goals in the Premiership.
"He has improved so much," Lynch added.
"I am not surprised by Leroy's performances this season. I actually watched Leroy five times before signing him, and every time I watched him he just impressed me more and more.
"I just think he is one of those lads who is so honest in everything he does. He is a much better footballer than people give him credit for.
"I think he has really adapted to full-time football. Technically and tactically he has improved and is getting better. And I think there is so much more to come from him.
"I couldn't ask any more of him at this time."
