First and foremost, I can’t thank you enough for taking me under your wing at a time when I was ready to give up aspirations of refereeing basketball at a level higher than high school. Meeting you and becoming a part of the “Next Level Officiating’ family has been a blessing and an inspiration to me. Your motto “Failure is not an option” rekindled the thought that I could make it to the next level in my officiating career if I put in hard work, listened to what was being said, and believed in myself.
As I look back on the first NLO camp that I attended, I now have an understanding and appreciation for all of the yelling, getting in my face, and “kick in the ass” when warranted. Also, the opportunities that you provided for me were something that I had never experienced before in all of my years of officiating. This is what a true leader of your integrity and professionalism does when they have a genuine interest in developing and growing people.
As a result of your mentoring and Next Level Officiating, I have been hired in two Division I conferences (Horizon and Summit Leagues) and one division II conference for the 2009-2010 season.
I want to thank you and “Next Level Officiating” for instilling in me the confidence that got me to the next level.
Peace and Much Love,
D.P. Pullins
