Anyone else caught themselves doing the same thing? I've had 2-3 games since and that has been one of the things I've included in things to work on.

I have never had that specific problem. That is beat into our heads around here in camp. We are always told to take a few steps. But I have noticed some other things I have done when I watched myself on tape. Not recently, but I did notice that I would not run sometimes after calling a foul to the spot to report the foul. I noticed that I would not give enough time in between different counts on the 5 second rule (between dribble and hold or even being closely guarded and then not being closely guarded). Most of the things I noticed were very little things that you do not ever really think about. Nothing really major in what I call or what I do not call. But that is what tape is for.

We can learn from watching ourselves no matter how long we've been doing this. It can be easy to get into bad habits.

Yes we can. But the problem is that many schools do not send tape so I can watch the games I have officiate. Usually I ask and they say, "sure we will send that to you," and you never hear from them at all. I have already asked about 5 times this year and I have gotten one tape. And that was a college scrimmage. It was very helpful, but I wanted to see more plays and situations I was in.

It had been a while since I had seen film of myself. So, with all the reminders from Rainmaker, I started again.

It is always good to see yourself work. Especially when you go to camp and you can hear about the silly mistakes you might make. I have had a few times where they taped and that was so valuable, I cannot put that into words.

Peace
