In today's world of refereeing shortages, mentoring is more important now than ever before. Our goal should be to get referees to stick around longer than 1 year. Why 1 year?

Mentoring and education are the keys to the retention kingdom. For show notes, check out www.refereesagainsthumanity.com/post/__006.
