feeling good after the game?

That is good advice - try to improve on one or a couple of your weaknesses each night. Some guys don't even take the time to think about this....they just go out and have a good game. I have three varsity games this weekend. At that level people expect you to be perfect. There are alot of things that can happen during any one game that can leave you questioning, whether those things were in your control or not. How do you avoid those feelings that leave you wondering if you worked a good game?

Having a good solid pregame is one key to having a great game. It gets you all on the same page as far as how you're going to handle situations that most certainly will arise in the game.

Some of the things that make me feel great about a game are if I can answer yes to all these questions about the crew:

Did the crew communicate well with each other, with the table, with coaches and with players?

Did we get the important calls and avoid interrupting the game with needless whistles?

Did we smile and have fun?

Did we let flow happen when possible and did we tighten down the screws when the players made that necessary?

Were we good supportive partners for each other who worked as a team and had each other's backs?

Did we "put out the sparks" (managing the coaching box for example) so that we never had to deal with a roaring fire?

Despite any calls we might have missed, did we create a fair environment for both teams?
