I spent one winter in Bay City, one winter and I ran back to California. No Kirk and Segal aren't icons or role models I was trying to be facetious.
I have videotaped several of my games so I see that I still am a chicken with my head cut off but i see that and I work on my shortcomings.
I primarily do Frosh/Jv. My shortcomings are I rush when blowing the whistle-which sometimes leaves my partners wondering what the heck i am doing. So I need to slow down. And communicate with my partners.
As trail I fade when the shot goes up so I am working on taking a step towards the action versus a step back.
Still working on my primary areas of coverage. Sometimes i flat out just reach (2-3x game) and i cause me and partner to look rather follish. Though a Varsity ref talked to me about closing in on a long call.
I have pretty bad communication skills with the coaches. At first I thought the solution was to ignore them, now i am working on the three step method of communication. 1. i hear you coach 2. stop sign . 3. T. though I haven't T a coach yet. The other 60 % are motivated and having fun. It is the 40% that I don't understand. I had a Varsity ref offer to do a Jv game with me last week cause he liked my attitude so My EGO exploded. LOL
