The Court Vision Philosophy
Foundations Built in Trust
There is no greater asset to have in sports officiating than trust. When you walk onto the court and trust yourself, you have overcome the first hurdle to reaching your officiating goals. This cannot, however, be a blind trust based in ego, but one built from the establishment of good habits and a continued growth mindset.
At Court Vision, our number one goal is to give you the tools needed to build this trust in yourself, which will lead to the other types of trust you must gain to reach your full potential as an official:
Trust of your partners,
Trust of your assignors,
Trust of coaches/players.
