Episode 746 - Smile in the Midst of Conflict
#knowTroy #DWUpodcast #referee #youthsports
I was the white hat referee last Saturday and had my first heckler. This guy heckled me the entire game. Mocking me with zingers; some of which were rather funny. Since I was in the middle of the football field, I did what all professional athletes do when getting heckled, I watched him. It was fascinating to see how he responded with me looking at him.
One of his zingers got me to laugh and he saw my smile. He shouted, "yeah, you keep smiling ref. You suck!" Well, I did keep smiling and he kept heckling.
The next time you have a heckler or bully in your life that won't stop heckling you, try smiling. If their zingers are funny, laugh. Maybe even compliment their shirt (genuine compliment of course). When you smile, you are responding in a way the heckler isn't expecting. And that's just marvelous.
