How did you then make the leap into also doing content creation?

Well, content creation is a product of, I guess, my passion and just overall time spent into officiating.

Had to learn all about that craft first before I can start going and teaching others.

So when I got into reffing and my mom worked for athletic director, and so she was part of the referee kind of culture and recommended that to me.

So it worked out well, but never thought i would get into building a community and and trying to make instructional type videos for that so that happened just through my interest in getting better and trying to be as good as I could and exhibit as many skills as I could and try to work up to the highest level that I could and trying to meet the best officials that could inspire me and teach me and guide me.

So after about five or six years of going through that and trying to get up the NCAA men's college basketball landscape, I had grown passionate about teaching and mentoring.

Because one of the things I learned about with officiating is mentoring.

So what keeps you making content now versus when you started? Like, has the reason changed at all?

So I'd be curious to kind of tailor it to that.

Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

Well, I'll start with accountability, just with referees, you know, instead of me pointing the finger at coaches first, which I love to do,

and

fans as well, because I think they're the majority issue.

It's got to start with refs and just better training we need, right? And we need officials that are in better shape.

If you're speaking in the AAU scene, the travel ball, the youth, You know, it's a different way they assign games.

So how does a referee, and how do you teach it through crown refs and everything when you're training these officials, how should a preparation look as they prepare to continue to get better throughout the season?
