humbling Position

[REFVA]

I thank you for your suggestions, I am just as baffled as ever. you are correct that there were some officials who were selected that Not I, but my peers, who are just shaking their heads and are wonder why them and not me. Did I piss anyone off? I say no. So I'm a little baffled. I guess as they say their always next year, yet I know that most of the contract have been sent out and back. I had a great ending last year at the High School level, Post season, regionals missed states but was a runner up from what my High School assignor said. So I go back and just try to revisit my summer and see where I went wrong..

RevVA, you just don't know what others are thinking. Continue to work hard, it will come together when you least expect it.

Maybe you could feel thankful that you didn't get chosen? Do you really want to be put into the category with those others?

Don't bother. Work on getting better in the future, not on changing the past.

Do you feel burnt out? If so, maybe you need to cut back a little. I cut back by about 10 games this season (at least at the moment I have) for that very fact. The best advice I could give is to worry about what you can control. You can control how hard you work to improve (it sounds like you are doing that), you can control how hard you work nightly. You cannot, however, control how an assignor gives out games. All of us have scratched our heads at some point in our career on why so and so are getting games we aren't. It is just part of the profession. Keep working to improve and the games will come. Don't spend time worrying about things that are out of your control.
