Also, VC writes down that I called a horrible game.

Now where do I get to put all the extra info down so the league gets the whole picture? I know, just let it go..................but it sure gets me steamed sometimes!

I always saw 6th grade girls are the most difficult to do. Their moms are the worst.

You are thinking too much about what the coaches say and do. The toughest part of this job is trusting your self evaluation.

You have to get to a point where you look at your performance and ask yourself- was I in position to make the right call? Do I hustle to get into position? Do I KNOW the rules? Did I have a bad game and what can I do to get better.

If you don't let a lot of this roll off of your back being an official will not be fun. If it is not fun you need to get out. Same for all of us.
