How Much Has Your Apearence Hurt You,Or Helped You As A Referee

[Tim Roden]

I don't care what you do in life. If you are healthy and a reasonable weight, you have an advantage on everyone else. This is especially true when you are around atheletes. There is nothing uglier then a fat, overweight person, judging trim inshape, atheletes. I resented them when I ran track in HS and as a basketball official, I would rather work a game with a man who looks like he belongs there and not someone who looks like he just rolled off the sofa. Saying that, I could stand to lose two inches around my waist and add sum bulk to the arms. We had one man from our associatioin go Div 1 three years ago and the comment was that it was the way he always looked like an athelete that got him the job.
