I Gotta Thank Danny For This One…
Danny Asked Me One Simple Question Thursday Morning Before The Class Started…
“What Is Required To Be A Judge For The Competition?”
My Response…
“Balls!!! It Takes Balls…”
Well… It Takes A Lot More Than That… But…
Obviously A Metaphor…
But In Order To Be A Judge… Basically… You Can’t Be A Lil’ Bitch… There… Let’s Just Get That Out Of The Way…
You’re Not There To “Coach” Or Make Friends…
You’re There To Count “CORRECT… LEGIT… NO QUESTIONS ASKED” Reps…
You’re Also There To “NO REP” The Shit Out Of The Bad Reps!!!
You’re Not There To Critique Form & Technique…
A Little Encouragement… OF COURSE!!!
But Don’t Stop A Competitor Half Way & Ask Them If The Did The “Junk Yard Dawg” Warm Up Before Snatching… Or To Break Down The Progression Of Every Single Movement…
The Competitor(s) Should Be Ready…
All You Have To Do Is…
Count The “CORRECT… LEGIT… NO QUESTIONS ASKED” Reps…
And “NO REP” The Shit Out Of The Bad Reps!!!
You Can’t Let The Competitor… The Team… The Crowd… Etc. Etc. Punk You!!!
I’m Going To Go Over With the Judges What I’m Looking For… What I’m Expecting…
And Obviously I’ll Be Walking The Floor To Make Sure The Standards Are Met…
If They Are Not Being Met… I’ll Simply Ask You To Either Help Out With Equipment Changes Or To Just Relax & Be A Spectator…
Trust Me… You Think It’s No Big Deal…
“All I Gotta Do Is Count The Reps…”
NO!!!
All You Have To Do Is…
Count The “CORRECT… LEGIT… NO QUESTIONS ASKED” Reps…
And “NO REP” The Shit Out Of The Bad Reps!!!
Trust Me… The Competitors Are Going To Try To Get Away With Anything They Can…
And Trust Me… It’s Happened In The Past… It Can Get Ugly!!!
If You’re Up For It… Please Get With Me…
