Juulie, how would you define "presence". And how in your opinion would you develop or improve in that area? Seems this is important in getting post play assignments.

Another great quote, I see, Jack. I had forgotten about that one. Good catch!
Funny you should ask about "presence" since it came up over and over again on my evals at camps this summer. It's obviously something I really need to work on, so answering your question will be very good for me!
I think it means having the self-confidence and judgment to make the game better, by keeping control without being controling, by doing what a ref can to help the players bring their 'A' games, by making sure the team who plays the best for that particular hour and a half wins. All without being overly officious.
I'd accept any editorial remarks anyone may have.
