00:01:36Good afternoon and welcome to Slush Puppy, host of the 2025 Next Gen Competition and Camp.

00:01:45In just a few moments, we will start the junior free dance.

00:01:49We welcome the fallen skaters to the heights for a five-minute warm-up.

00:02:43We're right back.

00:03:01We're right back.

00:03:06Okay.

00:03:08Okay.

00:03:09This time, we've decided to talk about the role of

00:03:16the officials at this competition.

00:03:29the officials at this competition.

00:03:31So joining me is Karen Howard.

00:03:34Karen is an ISU international referee

00:03:37and just did the women's event,

00:03:39the junior women's event here.

00:03:41And we're gonna talk about the role of the officials

00:03:43cause it's more than just judging the competition,

00:03:46isn't it?

00:03:48Correct.

00:03:48So today we've spent the day doing the free program

00:03:51and providing all of our detailed feedback

00:03:55through our GOEs and our program components.

00:03:57And they have those pieces of feedback

00:04:00that they'll be able to work forward in the season.

00:04:04Tomorrow we're gonna have a great day working

00:04:06with these athletes and their coaches

00:04:08because then we can talk about how are they going

00:04:10to be able to maximize their scoring potential

00:04:14as they move forward in the season.

00:04:16So judges will be here in the rink with them

00:04:19and they can re-execute some, for example,

00:04:22spins or footwork or things like that.

00:04:26And they can give them some ideas and tips

00:04:29of what they can do to get their GOE to be better,

00:04:34to build that GOE.

00:04:35And the same thing with the components

00:04:37where they can give some specific feedback

00:04:40on what might build their component score

00:04:43for each of the three components.

00:04:45The tech panel will also work with the athletes as well

00:04:50to talk with them about how they can improve their levels.

00:04:54And again, this is all about building their scores

00:04:57as they move forward in the season.

00:04:59As a referee, I will be in one of the dressing rooms

00:05:02and I'll have the competition video that I can use

00:05:05and we can go back and look at specific things.

00:05:08I can point out some very positive things

00:05:11that they've already built into their programs,

00:05:13their performances, and then we can look at little things

00:05:16that can continue to add again to that scoring potential.

00:05:21Because this is the very beginning of the season

00:05:23and we have a long season ahead.

00:05:25And there's so many opportunities of the things

00:05:27that they can do.

00:05:28So it'll be a great, great day tomorrow.

00:05:31Well, it's so interesting to talk about that feedback

00:05:34because as we know in skating,

00:05:36maximizing GOEs is so critical

00:05:39and getting that message across and understanding it,

00:05:42but actually doing it in competition

00:05:44is also very important.

00:05:46So how rewarding is it when you see these athletes now,

00:05:49for example, at the national championships

00:05:51in six months or however many months,

00:05:53making those improvements or adjustments?

00:05:56It's so wonderful when you can get to see

00:05:58how it builds over the season.

00:06:01And, you know, often you see it immediately

00:06:03in a next summer competition

00:06:04that they've taken some feedback

00:06:06and really applied it into their daily training

00:06:09because it's, you know, that daily training piece

00:06:12that can really move them forward.

00:06:14So it is very gratifying when you see

00:06:18that they have applied that feedback in such a good way.

00:06:23Well, and I think it's so important for people to know

00:06:25that the judges sitting at every competition,

00:06:27who are always willing and ready to provide feedback

00:06:30to coaches and skaters

00:06:32so that everybody can maximize their potential.

00:06:35So thank you for doing the job that you do

00:06:37to you and all the officials.

00:06:39And let's stay tuned for some more competition

00:06:41with a junior dance, free dance, coming up next.
