Getting In Shape

[Bernie Beckerman]

I'm an emergency physician and a referee and I think the most important thing for most of us is to stretch, especially the legs. I have seen too many people over the years who were running and suddenly ruptured their Achillees tendon. In most cases a ruptured Achillees means surgery...and of course the end of the season. For some it can also be the end of their refereeing career.
