This will be my second year. So I have only up to go... I have set a couple of goals already myself. Last year I was ump in every game I officiated (12). I have 3 goals for this year-- branch out to different positions (non-white hat of course), in the lower level 4-man crews I am setting a goal to prepare for a wing position, and officiate in those positions in a couple of games. The second goal is to get the ump mechanics down to where I look natural in the position. I mean to not have the "deer in the head lights" look. I really enjoyed being ump, what a great place to be during a game.
My final goal is to get the rule book mastered related to cases.
Granted, two goals are measurable, the other is kind of subjective, but I am having fun working at them already.
If anyone has any additional suggestions for an old guy, but new official, please let me know. As someone on another post mentioned "why did I wait so long to get into officiating?"
