This May, Frederick Feeney conducted a clinic for our Referees Association in Western New York. I initially reached out to Frederick after reading several insightful articles he had posted on the Wrestling Referees Only Facebook page. From our first interaction, Frederick was enthusiastic, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Coordinating his visit was seamless, and his time with us could not have gone more smoothly. Frederick’s clinic, titled "Being a Duck: The Importance of GREAT Mechanics," drew from his decades of experience as a referee, evaluator, and mentor. His presentation was designed to help officials of all experience levels enhance their skills by focusing on fundamental techniques that are essential to effective officiating. Using a blend of storytelling, humor, and real-life examples, Frederick inspired attendees to reflect on and improve their officiating approach. His emphasis on proper mechanics, paired with clear and practical demonstrations, made his teachings easy to understand and apply. Frederick encouraged active participation, responding to questions with immediate examples and real-time demonstrations, providing valuable context for in-match situations. Everyone in attendance left the clinic with new insights and renewed confidence in their abilities. Frederick’s passion for officiating is contagious, and his impact on our group was significant. If you’re looking for a clinician who brings experience, clarity, and inspiration, Frederick Feeney is an outstanding choice.
