I appreciate all feed back at every level and not cocky. I am how ever confident with my officiating and I carry that on the court. I think it is something that is needed at higher levels of officiating. Thanks
Well I know nothing about the camp you are talking about at all. I have never attended that camp or have to attend such a camp to advance in my area. But I have heard about these kinds of camps that people have attended where they are invited to attend some other camp, only to find it was a way for the camp director to have the campers pay more money and work some ball that might not lead to anything. Not saying that is the case here, I just do not know. But my point is you really need to calm down a little as you have no idea who here has been through that process. Meaning they know more about that camp or how these decisions are made and what they lead to then you do. It is great that you are not GREEN and accomplished something, but no one was ripping you. They were just telling you to slow your role a little.

And you can have all the confidence in the world and that does not mean you will get hired either. Why would they hire you instead of someone else? There are a lot of reasons and confidence is not likely going to be the main factor. A lot will be your location, need for someone new, who is pushing you and maybe your fitness. And some of those things are out of your control all together.

Peace
