What Helped Me Loose Weight!
I must share this story with my fellow officials. In the summer of 1998 I attended a camp in Virgina, Now, I already knew that I was out of shape,But decided to go anyway because you can still learn and improve as a official even if you are out of shape!Now back to the story,On the last night of this camp they have what is called NBA night. Where you buy a $1.00 raffle ticket,And when one of the staff members( One of the NBA officials on staff) pulls your number out of a hat,you have 30 seconds to go to the front of the room and pick a prize off of the table.When he got to my number,This paticular staff member discribe me as a referee that looked like he was 9 months pregnant! Now did that hurt my feelings? Hell yeah! But after that expierence, I said I am going to loose this weight! And this is my first time sharing this story with anyone.And you know what, I am looking forward to seeing him again. Now! A funny thing also happened to me,One of the organizations I belong to called SUBOA issued all of the officials numbers to be worn on the back of our referee game shirts. I got number 56 the same number as the staff member who's comment helped me to loose weight!
