Keep emotions in check. That's especially true when you're a parent watching your son ordaughter play. Someone once said, "Officials watch matches with their eyes; players, coachesand fans watch matches with their hearts." Even though your offspring is involved, you must avoidemotional displays created by watching a match with your heart. Many officiating reputations havebeen damaged when officials lost control and acted like fans. If you can't watch your son ordaughter play without showing emotion against the officials, you have only two real options: Don'tattend the matches or quit officiating. There's more responsibility and accountability whenwatching a match after you've become an official. Look at it as a great opportunity to learn fromothers while avoiding controversy and your attendance will help, not hurt, your career.Remember, the match is bigger than all of us and it's going to be around long after we are gone.Officials and Coaches, as caretakers of the sport, are responsible to try to maintain it for the nextgeneration.
