You've Made It This Far. Now What? Finishing the course is not the accomplishment. Applying it is. Knowledge is valuable. Execution is what creates opportunities. A lot of referees never struggle because they lack information. The info is everywhere. They struggle because they never consistently apply what they've learned. This thread is where theory becomes action. Your Next Step: Post your response below using this format: 1. The biggest area I am committed to improving:(Not what you're interested in. What actually needs work.) 2. The standard I am setting for myself:(What does improvement look like in measurable terms?) 3. The action I will take in my next booking:(One specific thing you will intentionally focus on.) 4. My 90-day development goal:(What skill, habit, or area of performance are you committed to improving over the next three months?) 5. What I want to be known for as a referee:(When wrestlers, promoters, and other referees talk about you, what do you want them to say?) The Standard: Be honest. Be specific. Be accountable. Vague goals create vague results. Clear goals create progress. Why This Matters: Professional growth does not happen by accident. Referees who improve the fastest are the ones who regularly evaluate their performance, identify weaknesses, and make deliberate adjustments. The goal is not perfection. The goal is continuous improvement. Every booking is an opportunity to sharpen your craft. Every match is feedback. Every event is another chance to build trust and credibility. Referees are judged long before the final bell. Your preparation. Your professionalism. Your consistency. Your reputation. Those things compound over time. Commit to your next step below. Then go earn the reputation you're building. Poll Question: After completing the Premium Referee Course, what is your primary focus moving forward?

It’s the last day of the month today what is your goals or accomplishments for next month????

Hey all! Sorry for the absence. Things have been quite busy for me as of late (socializing, making sure nothing explodes at my house, etc.), so I’ve had my hands full. I wanted to give you guys a little progress update about my journey to go from being a “chud” to being a “chad” (just stupid late Gen Z/Gen Alpha slang) as I get more physically active and strengthen myself. I also am aware about the late night timing that I am posting this (insomnia is a real piece of work), so I will make this quick: For starters, I have not been using my planking board often — BUT! I have been keeping myself on my toes and moving around frequently to ensure things don’t go wrong at Casa de Gettmann. The major reasons why I sort of fell outta the habit with planking is because A.) my terrible sleep schedule, and B.) constantly being pulled in every direction while also having weaponized autism (ASD, ADHD, and Tourette’s altogether — I forget why I walk into rooms sometimes) can really disrupt my focus. But there is some good news to come out of all this! My lower back posture no longer makes it look like I’m in my 9th trimester, and my stomach has gotten a little bit flatter. I’ve also been logging my calories and watching how much I’ve been eating. Anyways, I will keep you guys posted on my journey so far! I’ve also decided to go for a simple change to my wrestling gimmick and instead go by Ivan Blackthorne rather than Ivan Richter. To end off this late night post, I’ll leave you guys with this question: How many times have you guys gone back to the drawing board for your wrestling gimmick? Bonus question: What were the ideas that didn’t stick the landing and why? Good night!

Just 30 minutes of @Josh Gerry time will make you feel like and want to accomplish anything even if it has nothing to do with wrestling. 30 minutes, and I feel like I know what I need to do. Thank you Coach for 30 minutes of your time! Seriously take 30 minutes outta you day to let him help you walk through life and put a path in front of you for success.

How do you know you’re 100% healthy to step back in a wrestling ring? How do you know that you have that confidence to do it? when you wanna bet on your self but don’t really have the funds to it and you feel that window closing? Do you just go with it? Do you just jump in the fire and roll with it?
