Hey, old coach, new ref, here's the deal. If you learn from your mistakes, and also go back over your good games and learn from your successes, it's gotta get better from here. And no one could possibly be as bad as I was when I first started out, and even I got to the varsity level. If I can do it, anyone can!! Here's another secret -- try to have a sense of humor, and keep it in your head. The next time a coach yells at you, "This is the worst reffing I've ever seen!!" .. think to yourself, "...but you weren't at my game last week!" Outloud you say to the coach, "Okay, I heard you, now remember your box." and jog cool-ly down the floor. By the time the game is over, and you're leaving without any steam having left your ears, you'll feel great! And always remember my solemn promise to you, "If the rainmaker can do it, anyone can!"
