Wearing down?
Anyone else starting to wear down around this time of the season? I've felt like my mechanics and concentration are hard to keep sharp at times. I just totaled it up and I've called 105 games since mid-September, usually 2 games a night, but sometimes 3 and 4 a night a couple times. The 3-4 week break between basketball and baseball will be very nice.

If you are wearing down, it is because you worked 105 games. That is just way too many if you have been working since September. I might work 100 plus games if you include the summer, but that is about with several months off at a time (at least from basketball). And I am sure a lot of those games are 2 Person, which means more running and pounding on your body.
I will admit we are in the dog days around this time. And sometimes mentally you are a little testy than at any other time of the year. But I would not say I am physically beat up. I feel just as good as I have ever physically. I would suggest that if this is how you feel at this time of the year, you might want to cut back on a game or two during the season each week. Working just to be working is not go for you physically and mentally. Peace

Physically I'm fine at this point. It's more mental/concentration than anything else. |

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?

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. Peace
