Now that the Pro-AM season has kicked off, I'm seeing bigger, faster players that are much more skilled. Its been a while since I've had challenging plays. I just need a couple more reps & the discipline to get caught up with the speed at this level of play. Tonight I will not get caught up in the nice, quick moves!! I will look to see who could hurt me next.
And why is what I said not the case? The reason I said u should develop those habits is exactly set up to referee those bigger faster stronger players. When u referee that kind of athleticism u have to thoroughly prepare yourself more so than any other level. If u don't develop those mechanisms you will be picking up secondary defenders and sometimes you won't even see them coming. When u start picking them up every time is what will make you more consistent and help you get the play right more often and that is the name of our game.
