This is a function, I think, if the games you've worked in the past.
I worked a JV game a few weeks ago. I had to keep telling myself that this is the important game of the night for me, for the players, for the coaches, for the parents, etc. I will admit that enthusiasm and excitement for this game did NOT come naturally for me. As far as I could tell, nobody could tell -- I worked very hard from beginning to end and even got a compliment from some losing team parents on the way out
When I read something like this, I actually like it -- it shows me that younger and newer officials have passion for the game. Reminds me why I've stuck around since 1987 and hope to stick around till 2037
