Hi Jack,
Well my expertise is in Basketball not football, however, I did run track as a sprinter in high school, and conditioning is very important. In addition, strectching every day and keeping limber also helps with speed and avoiding injury, especially in football. practice 30 and 40 yard sprints every day. do as many as you can, and then take a long run maybe a half mile or a full mile to keep your endurance up as well as your speed. Good Luck!!

Expertise
My expertise is in the art of Officiating Basketball and I can answer questions pertaining to basketball rules; youth level through CIF High School, NCAA college and NBA rules as well. I can either help define a specific rule for you, or interpret a specific rule to clarify how other officials and I view and call the game.
Experience
I have been a Basketball Official now for over 19 years, officiating at all levels. I have attended numerous training camps throughout the years in an attempt to constantly become a better official. I have been evaluated by top Officiating organizations and I've had the honor of being selected to officiate at the highest levels including former Division 1 College and NBA players.
