Thank you so much for Friday night. It was unreal being able to be apart of the crew and learn from Michael, Ken and Hugh. Getting to speak with Scott Butler as well is something I’ll never forget and I’d like to thank him for allowing me to be apart of it. I’d like to give a special thanks to Kyle as well for looking after me during the game
The experience really made me realise my dream of becoming a professional basketball official. It gave me a brilliant insight to something that I’ve grown so fond of since I picked up a whistle. Its made me want to work even harder to be my best self on and off the court. I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face the whole the night
I hope I get the opportunity to do it again soon
Once again, thank you so much.
“Being able to watch elite level officials from this vantage point and learn from them is a great thing. Key points for me here were to learn about mindset and communication strategies. I'm a big believer in these forming key planks of any good referee's approach to the game.In all those terms, I absolutely got out of the experience what I needed, and again, I am grateful for the opportunity. “
It was awesome being mentored by James and Jacqui. Both were extremely helpful and insightful with their feedback and answers to questions across the weekend. I can't thank them and the NBL enough for this opportunity!
