After timing tonight's high school game, I was standing around talking with some parents, and D-I officiating came up. I of course responded that that is an ultimate goal of mine, to which one of the fathers (who, to my knowledge, has no officiating experience) said "Dexter doesn't have the political connections." I understand the value of knowing the right people, but doesn't that come after you start officiating? Should I just write this guy off as an idiot who has no clue what he's talking about?

Mark all connections are, is someone telling you where to go when you do not know. So if someone tells you to go to a specific camp or to call this specific person, that is a connection. And you still have to perform and prove that you belong.
Never let ignit people set your goals for you. If everyone listen to what others thought, they would never have success. Keep your dreams alive until YOU realize that is not what you want anymore.
