What is the best way to approach a Veteran referee about being your mentor?
From upwind! 😀
Most of the vets I have approached have been very helpful. There is only one guy that I call my "mentor" and he is the guy who convinced me to put on the stripes. He has attended a few of my games and given me feed back. He has been helpful in answering questions that I feel are too "dumb" for me to ask here. (although I know that's not true).
I would be willing to bet that most of the vets in your association would be willing to be a mentor. Best thing to do is to make sure your mentor is going to be someone you will respect. Don't just ask the first pretty face. 🙂 Your mentor should be someone who is willing to take time with you to really be helpful.
