| Henderson State University | This clinic was extremely beneficial for my officiating career. I was able to refine my foundation with what I would call 'Basics 2.0'. These clinicians were able to pick out things that we do so habitually and say 'Start trying this. That's wasted movement, don't do that anymore. Great job, now do it stronger.' If you come with an open mind and are able to take their critiques you will get your money's worth and then some. |

| Henderson State University | This was my first clinic to attend. The clinicians were all experts in their positions and have the resumes to prove it. They were well prepared and provided lots of one on one instruction. I really appreciated the fact that they want to give back to newer officials trying to break into the college ranks. I was very encouraged and can immediately apply skills I learned.

| Henderson State University | I have been out of College "on-field" from 2021-2023 and I was approached and sent the link to Great American Conference Clinic to get me back in the "fold", as it were! I realized that I still have a passion to do this with the guys aspiring to call College ball. I will put in the work necessary when my "shot" comes- I will be ready.
