Funny you should mention that cause my partner in my last game kept saying that I dont look like I'm having fun.

Thats not the case. I just am sooooo focused that I look very serious.

Yup. That's okay. First HAVE FUN, and eventually it'll show.

Or try this: grip your whistle with your teeth and keep your lips parted untill you need to blow the whistle. That way it gives a little more of a smile look. (Although it's hard on the whistle)

Also, look at your partner more -- more eye contact. That also gives your face a more open look.

Make sure you take plenty of chapstick, then, and drink plenty of water before hand.

Yup, I do that too. chapstick, extra water, extra whistles. It's a high price to pay for looking good!

Bearfan, you probably shouldn't do this. Biting the whistle will make you look tense. Nothing more disturbing than a tense looking smiling guy with spittle running down his chin. If anything you'll want to have a cool, detached look about you. Kinda like Violet Palmer.



Also it won't be fun if you're biting the whistle and get smacked in the face suddenly with a ball or something. It could happen.

It might look less tense than gripping the whistle tensely with lips. I mean, I'm pretty much tense from top to toe the whole game, it's just a question of which tense looks less unpleasant. I guess Mike will have to decide what works for him.

Or, if he's married, he can ask the wife for her opinion. Just remind her the stripes are mandatory.

Ya.. my wife laughed at me the first time she saw me in uniform.
