It is not what you think that is going to determine your opportunities. It is going to be what others think of your ability. I can think I am the greatest official that ever lived, if others do not think that it will affect my opportunities. This is about perception as much as it is about ability. Perception is reality most of the time. I am concerned about all those things. That is why I show up an hour before my games. That is why I am always nice to the staff when I arrive to the game. That is why I do not turn back games without a very good reason. This is why I fulfill my officiating commitments. If I show up late to a game, act rude to the staff at a school or behave in any way that is perceived as unprofessional, it will not matter how good an official I am. Just stating the truth.

Peace
