I could not agree with the off-season part more. I took some time off because of my job and was preparing to return next season. I contacted the association to see if they had any extra books I could purchase. Was told that because of the number of new schools and a stagnant membership number they could really use me this season. I thought about and decided to go for it. I worked 3 scrimmages in 3 days (about 8 games)...GEEZ, for a couple of days I felt like I was about 90. If is amazing how fast you back-slide physically...and nobody will ever convince me kids are not a LOT faster now than they were just a year ago.

Did find out that, even though I felt like my legs would fall off any minute, I was better off on rules, mechanics, etc. than I thought I would be.

Never ease up on preparing your mind and body...emphasis on never.
