or now that I think of it...maybe you need LESS ego.....or more precisely not to let ego get in the way.....maybe that is the difference in college officials.

Everyone has an ego. The key is to relieve oneself of figjam as soon as possible, while maintaining the confidence to do the job required.

Some of the biggest egos I have seen have come from sophomore officials that never work varsity games.

The funny thing about this off season was my first summer as a state clinician. And I was amazed how many times you had officials that cannot get single varsity game looked disinterested or acted is if they already knew everything when a clinician was talking to them. I attend 2 or 3 college camps every year and very few of the "college officials" in attendance (even the ones on D1 Staffs) listen to every word that they are being told and are willing to change the littlest thing to get better. And the officials have done little or nothing in officiating from an accomplishment point of view, they know everything or they want to debate what someone told them last week. It was even to the point where the assignors or people in charge of the camps I was working with would tell me to just to let these individuals be. When I hear that college officials have bigger egos or harder to work with, it makes me wonder is that more of the lack of confidence in those that have to work with people that work a level they have not achieved yet. I know I was guilty of that very early in my career.

Peace
