Discipline
Issue No. 1
Where Does Discipline Come From?
______________________________________________________________________________
(Typos are free. They are my gift to you.)How this 12 part curriculum series works:
Each section will include a specific topic (this week is about defining some aspects of discipline). There will be a summary of what is covered in the full-length DVD’s that accompany the series (NOTE: ONLY Minnesota Development Model members will receive the DVD’s. These are guys who pay $25 a month. These are guys who live in Minnesota and get supervised/videotapted games. Those who pay $10 a month get the newsletter series ONLY.

Each section of this 12 part series will have a “Realities of the Business” section, which points out very real and very important parts of officiating. Ignore this section at your own peril, because there are MANY refs out there who don’t understand the full picture of what it takes to “get ahead”. Quite simply, many of those refs haven’t been told. You will be told the “how to” in this 12 part series.
The 12 parts are going to be somewhat “fluid”. I have designed the first three parts already:
1. Where Does Discipline Come From?
2. What Discipline Gets You (and you may not like it)
3. Off Season Discipline Part 1
I do have another 9 parts laid out, but I am going to adjust them based upon feedback from the members. In the past, I have set all 12 parts of a curriculum and stuck with that model. However, I have noticed that the feedback from members brought about some great observations and insights, as well as good questions that needed answering. So...GIVE ME YOUR FEEDBACK AND WE’LL KEEP THIS THING ROLLING ALONG FOR 12 WEEKS (or so)!

I am picking a bunch of different movie quotes/scenes to get your all pumped up…
Why?
Because in order for me to maintain the “straight and narrow”, I have got to continually put motivational stuff in front of me. I strongly suggest the same for you, too.

____________________________________________________________________________Back Story: During the hockey season of 2007-08, I set about to do my own thesis on the “mental aspects of officiating”. What I wanted to do was to interview as many high level, mid-level, and beginning-level referees as possible and determine if there are any common characteristics. My initial study determined the following common traits amongst high level referees:
1. Mindset of a Champion
2. Great Communicators
3. Physically fit and skilled
4. Had a trusted mentor who took them under their wing
5. Had an influential person help open doors for them
The following season, I added two more traits, based upon even further interviews and studies:
