After completing 6 workouts this past week (including our last and most successful treadmill sessions), I observed the North America Hockey League Showcase at Blaine, MN.
Not surprisingly, the vast amount of officials I saw fell into 6 categories:
1. Officials Development Program (ODP) Guys - Vets - get it, understand, do most of the small things right
2. ODP Guys who are Lazy, Thumbsuckers - There's about a 45%/54% split, with the 54% being the lazy, thumbsuckers.
3. 1% ODP guys who are new and were trying hard.
4. [SWAT Team] members, who were all giving a 100% honest effort, with professionalism and pride.
5. SWAT members (who are not paid members, but do it for FREE) who all were so-so or even below average.
6. Non SWAT Team guys/gals who were really good (that was about 3 or 4 people - that's it - no one else).
NONE OF THESE [PERCENTAGES] SURPRISE ME ONE BIT. Commitment from people generally turns into commitments elsewhere. We are creatures of habit and pursuit of excellence is a habit, too.
