Wrestling sharpened my baseball officiating by exposing weaknesses in confidence, emotional control, conditioning, leadership, and humility under pressure. This is not only about multi-sport officiating. It’s about growth, professionalism, discipline, and the internal battle every official faces when the game humbles him and demands more.
