2020 OFFICIALS’ EXPECTATIONS What we need to focus on from evaluations and coaches feedback

PROFESSIONALISM Good Characteristics Bad Characteristics On – Time Shows favoritism Friendly Emotional Approachable “Knows it all” Communicates well Arrogant Can admit mistakes Unapproachable Uses language and explains with correct verbiage Ignores work crew partners Consistent Uses “make up calls”

PROFESSIONALISM • It all begins the day before • Communicate with AD of the school you will be officiating at • It continues when you arrive… • Communication with admin and coaches

SHARE KNOWLEDGE AND RECRUIT! • We will always have officials retire each year. • We can replenish those voids by recruiting young, eager officials! • Young officials can be intimidated by the actions that have been increasingly directed at officials. • How can we help re-direct that? • SHARE KNOWLEDGE THAT THE POSITIVES OUTWEIGH THOSE NEGATIVES!
