Season Goals

1)

2) An area I need to work on too. Some of my senior partners don’t seem to want to improve and move to the next level (or time has passed them by). I want to be more patient with them, but also speak up for what I believe and learn from the ones who can teach me best.

4) I want to attend more games on my "off days" and watch some of the more senior officials and maybe get into a pre-game or two.

These are two areas I know I had experience with. There are some lower level guys that have no aspirations for getting better and moving up. Working with them can be extremely frustrating. You can always use them as models of what not to do.

One thing I did a lot was go along with good crews. I'd go out every chance I got. I'd also stick around after I worked the early game and introduce myself to the varsity guys. Sometimes I'd ask if I could sit in on pre and post game conversations.

My primary goal is to have JR's head explode. I think I can accomplish that by:

1) Improving my focus on game management
2) Decreasing the number of "game interrupters"
3) Being concerned about the coach's reaction as I make a call / ruling.

My primary goal is to post as many irrelevant and irritating pictures and gifs as possible until ModeratorMan's head explodes.

It's not my fault. I was diagnosed with BillyMac Syndrome. 🙁 There is no known cure.

I was recently told to always listen to Bob; so I'm going to set my goals accordingly.

Here's another one to work on, along with your crappy sentence structure and sh!tty word selection...

Don't want to hijack the thread, but do any of the kids think that officiating is really "uncool"? I'm 26 and most of my friends think it's pretty nerdy, I can only imagine the peer pressure at 14 or 15. Personally, it's a great way for a young person to make money and learn some good life lessons, but that's just my thoughts.

Pretty much all the kids we recruit have played in the league for a few years, so they're familiar with the situation and structure. They just look at it as a fairly well paying PT job. Many of them have younger brothers and/or sisters who play and those younger kids think it's cool having their older brother or sister be a referee, even though we don't assign them to games with family members.

There's been a few who have continued up the ladder as they got into college and beyond.

Now, I'm still learnin', so I could be wrong here.

This is where I'm supposed to say "STFU," right?

All I would say is you need to make goals based on your ability, not what other people want them to be. I am sure Bob has geared his goals to what he needs to work on. You might have other pressing issues that would not apply to Bob. Just saying. 😉

Are you telling me that making Jurassic's head explode may be a bit above my pay grade?

Oh, that is what you are doing.

I take back everything I said. 😀

I've got one of my own now:

Wear out Nevada's correction pin.

Back In The Saddle

My goals for the season:

1) Learn to see the double hit
2) Recognize and call all back row attacks
3) Recognize and call all back row blocks

Ask me again in November what my basketball season goals are 😉
