Prioritize your feedback: fix the one or two most common issues first. Rather than chasing every small imperfection at once, identify the two or three crossing noises or timing issues that show up most often and tackle those before anything else.
You have the capability to play everything written — leave nothing out. Missing a gracenote or doubling here and there usually isn't a physical limitation; it's a matter of catching every marked embellishment and holding yourself to playing the full, complete version of the tune.
A clear count-in is really internal communication, not decoration. Counting in beats before a group starts together is about giving everyone the same clear target to land on — the clearer that target, the more likely the whole group hits it together.
