We have an official in our association, not me, but a real good friend. He has been tagged with the arrogant label. When you watch him officite it is obvious why. It is all in the way he runs and gets himself in position. It is hard to describe, he has a high heel kick, his hands are in front of him with his thumbs up and when he get into position, he has this sort of "John Wayne" approach. Unfortunately for him, it is natural. That IS the way he runs, and anytime you talk to him he squares up like John Wayne!! Great guy, not even CLOSE to arrogant, and we have those, it just boils down to his presence. What he has done to "correct" for this is work a little on his running style, but has tried to make himself more "approachable" by coaches. Sometimes he will crack a joke or say something lite hearted early on and that has been somewhat effective. Just some thouths.
BTW, I run like a duck and am just happy to be IN position. Although I do have a nie "ole" thing when there is a foul intransition!
