I knwo that I've had several bad games for whatever reason. The way I get over those and quit beating myself up si to remember why I referee. I love the game, need the exercise, and want to have fun. Now, when something is going wrong or is too stressful, I think of those reaons. Am I getting to watch basketball (and getting paid for it)? Am I exercising (and getting paid for it)? Am I having fun? If I don't think I'm having fun, I try to find something funny or cheerful about the last play or what the coach said or how the coach is acting. Don't let the fact that you're being evaluated bother your calling. Remember: have fun!
