"When I first joined Come On, Refs Academy, I was on the brink of giving up on my officiating dreams. The intensity of Sarge's program, with its rigorous Zoom mechanics workshops and his demand for personal attendance at games, initially felt overwhelming. However, it was precisely this stringent commitment that transformed my perspective and skill set. Sarge's dedication to pushing us beyond our limits, while ensuring we understood the gravity of our roles on and off the court, ignited a resilience I didn't know I possessed. There were moments I thought I couldn't meet his expectations, but Sarge's belief in my potential, coupled with the structured and immersive training environment, guided me through the storm. Now, looking back, I see those challenges as pivotal moments that shaped me into a more capable, confident, and dedicated official.
