the OFFICIAL WORD

“GOOD TO GREAT” OFFICIATING “Good to great” officiating begins with your personal vision, mission and values. BY AMY HOPPENRATH

“Good” companies have a vision, mission and values statement. “Great” companies use these statements to drive decisions and align their teams. This proven strategy not only works in the boardroom, but at poolside. As officials, our mission is to apply the rules to the situation and make sure that every swimmer gets a fair race. That makes a “good” official. However, “great” officials—like great companies—also incorporate their values and vision.

GROUNDED BY VALUES Values set the tone of every meet. We all agree that we’re “here for the kids.” Now take it to the next level. Imagine how your decisions—and the meet environment—may change if supported by the following: ■

We should make athlete-centered decisions. We support the rules. However, we should also look for ways within the rules to benefit the athletes.

■

The swimmers and coaches are our clients and customers—not employees. They should be treated that way.

VISION FOR GREATNESS What’s your vision? What will be the result of your officiating? George Block, technical vice president of USA Swimming’s board of directors and past coach, suggests that every official should have a vision to help swimmers. He or she should become technically proficient by supporting the coaches and what they are teaching their swimmers. “Often swimmers don’t listen to their coach until they get disqualified,” Block says. “I appreciate officials who help reinforce the technique.” Block also believes an official should fall in love with the sport. The meet is a place where swimmers should have fun. Every swimmer has an “Olympics”—it is the moment that demands the most of them. And it’s our job to help them succeed. If we remember why we’re here and what we want to accomplish, every decision will be easier to make. When we build a circle of trust that includes athletes, coaches and officials, we become “great” officials. ❖ Amy Hoppenrath is a USA Swimming official for the Missouri Valley LSC.

Q. Swimming Technique: You believe swimming needs to be fun. How do you keep it so? A. Coach Todd Schmitz: Swimming needs to remain fun no matter what the age. And fun swimming is different for each age.

THE INTERNATIONAL SWIMMING HALL OF FAME

January In January 1968, South Africa’s Karen Muir (1980 ISHOF Honor Swimmer) set world records in the 100 and 200 meter back at a meet in Kimberley, South Africa. On the 29th, she clocked 2:24.1 for the 200, then returned the next day with a 1:06.4 in the 100. Muir is probably best known for becoming the youngest person to break a WR in any sport. In 1965 at the age of 12 years, 10 months and 25 days, she swam 1:08.7 in the 110 yard back at the ASA National Junior Champs in Blackpool, England. She went on to set 15 WRs in backstroke (1965-69), but never swam in the Olympics since her country was banned.
