Wearing down?

[JRutledge]

I work on the regular basis only 3 games a week. I do have a couple of weeks with more scheduled games, but that is rare enough I usually look forward to them. For example this week I had a game on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and two on Saturday. This is rare for me. But I will not have another game after Saturday until next Friday (I had a game on Tuesday but had a chance to give it up). But a usual week outside of holiday tournaments, are only 3 days a week which include Tuesdays, Fridays and one game on Saturday. I stay fresh that way and I can actually look forward to each game.

Peace

Maybe you could try spending less time needling football officials on the football forum and more time sleeping?

Rut, let me ask something. Did you always work this pace, or did you work more games as you were trying to "climb the ladder?" I'm thinking about strictly limiting my pace next year to about three nights a week; but I have a feeling that may slow my advancement (I'm willing to accept that.)

It happens to all of us!

I work about the same amount as JRut just laid out. But in my first 5-6 years I was filling my non-HS days with lots of Rec and Military ball.

I changed my schedule because when I took on a new job and moved, I realized that working everyday was for the birds. I stopped working girl's basketball for the most part.

All I (would) accept before the season were varsity nights games (Tuesday, Friday and Saturday) and fill in with the rest later. I learned I was much more motivated to work and not worn out. Also remember I worked two other sports and that is also a big factor in what I do. It was really much more about choices than trying to move up. If I still worked girl's basketball, I would be working on the other nights or two games on Saturday on a regular basis. I would not want to do that on a regular basis.
