DAY 3 17.09.2016 Radom – Be better tomorrow than you are today. When you improve yourself automatically you improve the officiating in your all team and league – Mr Micio

At the third day it is visible that the camp is so intense. We have only 4 days and so many things to do, and between all this games, game preparation, clips cutting, video watching, discussing with your crew, presentations, lectures, morning run, pulse run… yeah. Today at 7 again was the run, I have noticed the group was little smaller, this is because some people last evening run the beep test, and simply you need to rest the body.

As per the camp agenda today is the last day with lectures from Costas, Jose and Micio, as they have to leave next morning we still have a great chance to listen to them. Costas was working clips with us, again and again, as for him this practical aspect works best apart from the court job. Above everything is the game! – Costas – Quality calls is what we want. Micio was showing you some practical advises for the officiating. A top referee image is: strong, decisive and approachable. Be better tomorrow then you are today. Because when you improve yourself, automatically you improve the officiation in your all team and league.  Jose took us for the mind walk with him back to USA officiating, recalling 2 past days of the camp and preparing for the season in general with the motivation speech. 

What you need to remember from the 3PO and the clue of the officiating is:
1.    Referee the defense
2.    Trust your partners
3.    Call the obvious
4.    Stay in your primer

Everyone waited for the games, specially top league tournament and 1st league, but also the amateur league tournament that was very demanding and therefore excellent for the camp purpose to officiate. Couple things that are visible as per instructor’s feedback: you all have the drive to be better and make progress, some mistakes are always there, they are part of our life and we are here exactly to work it out.

Despite of the long day everyone waited for the closing ceremony, where we made a summary of the camp, could hear from the instructors again, and enjoy talking together, thinking how we really want to move forward, what are our goals. With wishes for the good next season from OUR team, we are moving to Sunday which is a games and finals day!!

Thank you,

Marta

DAY 2 Radom, 16.09.2016 – You must clean the game – Costas

Yesterday was a day of lectures, today will be a mixture of presentations and half a day of games.
So as tradition says we started with the morning FIBA run at 7 AM. Some guys went to run at 6… 🙂 Fitness is very important part of referee’s life.

Straight after Kuba had a feedback session, with Jose and Costas, with the most important take away that gave the group the direction for today: Learn how to officiate OFF ball. We were watching videos from camp in Romania for the 3PO, main video and view from the 3 glasses: Lead, Trail, Center. This is incredible for the situations analysis and for the referee to understand and confirm with the view where exactly he is looking while officiating. These glasses are a great tool for calibrating yourself with the position and zones watching.

To prepare you for the games Petr was next with the presentation on how to do a good pre-game conference: check technical equipment, ball selection, team warm up observation, referee warm up, and post-game: did we succeed? ME – WE – GAME? We watched NBA referees pre game video that was very inspiring, and showed how professional USA referees treat every game.
More and more clips, Situations, we are learning from other people, meaning more clips watching with Costas. Major thing for all your next season: Clean the game!!! – Costas. Again were the criteria applied, advantage/disadvantage rule, or RSBQ – rhythm, speed, balance, quickness.

As today we had all instructors in one place there was time for the family picture 🙂 and we moved to officiate the games. Logistics are very complex, this time we play in 4 gyms, and there is a lot of good games to referee. Let’s see how the refreshed criteria and new pre-seasonal power will appear on the court!! Go go go!!! In the evening after the games there is also special slot for whoever wants to try running the pulsometer test with Konrad. Ufff I can say this was really long day, but no one expected differently.

Ciao
