3. Cont. Improvement We must strive for perfection and accept excellence. - Tony Corrente NFL Referee There s no such thing as a self- made man. - Walt Disney

4. Cont. Improvement With that goal in mind, we must reflect on our performance each week and conduct an open and totally honest self-evaluation. Only then, can we develop personal goals for self-improvement. We expect that individuals and crews will then share and discuss these goals between officials and within the entire crew. Game observers should also support our efforts to be consistent with honest, valuable feedback (both POSITIVE and constructive)

5. Cont. Improvement Our responsibilities as a football officials start when we accept our assignment. Our responsibility to manage aspects of fair play and ensure the integrity of the game is best accomplished when we are ready, focused and prepared. As officials, when the game grows more intense and the competition heats up, how well we have prepared ourselves will show. The best officials are the ones that remain consistent in the calls and in their demeanor on the field.

6. Cont. Improvement Character Goals First off, you ve got to be a good person! - David Coleman, Supervisor PAC 12 Balance your life faith, family, work and football Be responsible and prepare for the season/games Every game is a super bowl for those two teams Value your opportunity to excel, but flow naturally Always present a positive attitude

7. Cont. Improvement Relationship Goals Trust starts when you leave your ego at the door. Candor and friction are good for the team if the intentions of the individual are good. - Chris Peterson, Head Coach University of Washington Be present for others don t be distracted Contribute to the crew as an equal member Feedback must be used to get better Appreciate your crewmates!

8. Cont. Improvement Presence Goals Be an athlete with passion for the game. We want coaches, players and fans to trust us. Find those that are rated #1 and study them. You are your brand , do you resonate with coaches and the crowd? How do you handle an angry coach? Did you prepare for this possibility?

9. Cont. Improvement Mechanics Goals Each crew member masters their position. The pre-game meeting is well organized and the crew is actively involved. Prepare for situations where we must increase our energy to keep the tempo of the game high. Master thorough dead ball and pre-snap routine? Video reviews focus on mechanics, rules philosophy, and judgment.

10. Cont. Improvement Rules Goals It is the expectations of coaches, players and fans that the officials know all of the rules! Pre-season rules study must be strong - study groups? I, and my crew, work on a portion of the rules each week. I report fouls completely and accurately, and participate in quick enforcements.

11. Cont. Improvement Philosophy Goals Internalized the association s philosophy statements which will help us properly apply the rules of football to the level of play. Make it Big! Fouls should be clear and obvious - characterized by Oh my God, what just happened? It is impossible to build a successful officiating career by calling fouls that result in debates. Be correct in all of your line-of-scrimmage and game administration fouls (plus all safety and major unsportsmanlike fouls)

12. Cont. Improvement Judgement Goals Do no harm! It is better to miss a call than to invent one. Karl Richins, Big Sky Conference Supervisor Great Job, OCFOA! Now get even better! - Steve Coover, San Diego

13. Cont. Improvement Reminders from NFL Referee Mike Carey: Improvement comes with hard work. There are no short cuts. You must have a passion for the game otherwise the hard work is too hard. We must support each other and work hard on behalf of our fellow officials and our crew. It s all about the 2 hours on the field. Be prepared then enjoy it!
