Live Discussions Hosted by Chris Penso
What’s a fireside chat without good conversation? You’ll be tuned in within minutes after hearing firsthand life behind the whistle or flag at the professional level. You will get to know legendary sports officials on a personal level over topics like keys to success, climbing the ladder, presence under pressure, and much more.
We’re proud to have been able to connect you with officiating legends in an off-script manner and give you the opportunity to have your questions answered by sports leaders.
This inaugural series was brought to you by NISOA’s Foundation Fund. The program focused on brining you intimate conversations with top level officials about topics not often covered in the classroom, from mental preparation to overcoming mistakes. If you missed the program this past fall, don’t worry we have most of the series captured for your viewing pleasure below - Enjoy!
