Why do it?
1. Because I love kids and trying to be a positive influence. One of the greatest compliments I get from parents,AD's and colleagues is the way I handle the kids in a game. I like all three sports that I do, soccer, basketball, and volleyball. Sports is one of the ways that I can do that well.
2. There's just something about being involved and a part that is exciting, rewarding, fun (most of the times... but there are those times.) I love most aspects of sports -- the competition, the physical demands, the emotional release, the challenges.
3. It's such a stress reliever from the things that my job requires everyday.
4. I make a lot of freinds that I wouldn't normally get to know because of officiating.
5. The sound of a Fox 40 is kind of addictive, you know!
