Great! Thanks for the info Flakes. I am apart of the Long Beach Unit and they seem really willing to help you grow into a good official. As for the question about why I want to be a white hat, I will try to anwser that concisely.
For a few years now, I have grown to love the game of football. It is an exciting game to watch and be apart of. I enjoyed officiating basketball but had an interest in football. After some research and speaking with other officials, I decided to start learning the rules more in depth. I understood basic calls but as I began to dive into the rule book, I found out I had alot to learn. Whenever I do something, I want to know all the ins and outs. I always looked up to officials because I know how they can be the most hated on the field. Its a tough job, but somebody has to keep the game in tact. I want to become one of those officials who has a great understanding of the game and hold the integrity of officiating like all the other great ones. After evaluating all the positions, I feel that a Referee is the position that I would excel at. I know it may take many years to master it but I am willing to do what it takes to become a great college official someday. I know that was kind of long, but when your passionate about something you want to do, it becomes one of the most important aspects of your life.
