Accountability Thread: Don’t Skip This If you made it through this course, you should have more clarity. But clarity without action changes nothing. This is where most people stop. They watch. They agree. They move on. And nothing improves. That’s not what this is for. Your Next Step Post your response below using this format: 1. My biggest weakness as a referee right now:(Be honest. This is where growth starts.) 2. My immediate next step:(What are you going to fix or improve first?) 3. My 90 day focus:(What are you committing to getting better at?) The Standard Do not overthink this. Do not try to sound impressive. Be honest. Be direct. Be clear. Why This Matters Most referees stay stuck because they never define what needs to improve. They just “try to get better.” That’s not a plan. This is. Public commitment creates pressure. Pressure creates follow-through. Final Note If you are serious about improving, start here. Post your response. Then go to work. Poll Question: What concept changed your perspective the most?

If you made it through this course, now it’s time to prove it. Growth does not come from watching. It comes from applying. This thread is where you publicly commit to your next step. Post the following: • Your biggest takeaway • One thing you are going to improve immediately • One thing you realized you’ve been neglecting Keep it simple. Keep it honest. No fluff. No over explaining. Just ownership. You do not need to be perfect. You do need to be intentional. If you are serious about leveling up, post below. Let’s build standards in here. – Coach Josh Gerry Poll Question: Where do you need the most improvement right now?

Let's hear how you all did this past weekend. Were you on the road all weekend? Did you have a new booking that you're excited about? Or, did you take the weekend off from events but put in some work on future opportunities? They all matter. Success is a marathon. Not a sprint. Let's talk about what we did and celebrate each others wins. I'll go first: I helped host our first ever "Heat Check" event at the AML Pro wrestling Training Center on Saturday night. This was the brain child of AML GM @Brian Hawks and was a blend of Pro Wrestling & Kill Tony. It was very well received and I've heard nothing but good things about. Then on Sunday, I was a guest on a future episode of Mike Quackenbush's Youtube/podcast show. He was asking me about my book and my experiences as a coach in pro wrestling. Several building blocks were laid. And like I say often: "Any day with pro wrestling is a good day!" 😉 Comment below what you did in the pro wrestling industry this weekend. Celebrate your wins. And even if you think you didn't have any "wins" share what you did anyway. Everything works towards goals. And if you didn't, and just rested up, that's OK too. Poll Question: What did you do this weekend to advance your pro wrestling goals?

Let’s Put This Into Action If you’ve made it to the end of this course, you’ve already done something important. You didn’t just scroll. You didn’t just skim. You showed up. Now comes the part that actually matters. Social media only works if you use it consistently. And consistency is easier when you are accountable to something bigger than yourself. This post is here to do exactly that. 🔒 Your Accountability Commitment Reply to this post and answer the questions below. Keep it simple. Be honest. 1. What platform are you committing to focus on right now? 2. How often are you realistically going to post each week? 3. What is one type of content you are committing to post more of? 4. What is one habit you are committing to stop on social media? There are no right answers. There is only follow-through. 👥 How This Community Works This is not about perfection. This is about progress. Use this space to: - ask questions - share struggles - hold yourself accountable If you post here, you are more likely to take action. If you take action, people will notice. 🎯 Final Reminder Social media will not build your career for you. But it can support the career you are already working to build. Commit publicly. Show up consistently. Stay professional. Now reply below and lock in your commitment. 👊

Stay Coachable Your ego will end your career faster than lack of talent ever will. I've watched incredibly talented wrestlers wash out of this business because they stopped being coachable. They got good enough to have some success, and they decided they didn't need to listen anymore. They knew better than their trainers. They knew better than the veterans. They knew better than everyone. And their careers stalled. Or ended. Because the moment you think you know everything is the moment you stop growing. And if you stop growing in professional wrestling, you start falling behind. The Coachability Curve Here's a pattern I've seen over and over again. Someone starts training. They're terrible. They know they're terrible. So they listen to everything. They're coachable. They want to learn. They soak up every piece of feedback. They get better. They start having matches. They start getting bookings. People tell them they're good. And somewhere along the way, they stop listening as closely. They start thinking they've got it figured out. They start getting defensive when corrected. Their improvement slows down. Or stops completely. Meanwhile, the wrestlers who stay coachable keep improving. They keep learning. They keep getting better. Five years later, the coachable wrestlers are having great careers. The ones who stopped listening are out of the business wondering what happened. Here's the thing: the better you get, the more important it is to stay coachable. Because the feedback you need at that level is more subtle. More nuanced. Harder to see yourself. If you're not willing to listen, you'll never get that feedback. And you'll never reach your potential. What Being Coachable Actually Means Let me clarify something. Being coachable doesn't mean being a doormat. It doesn't mean accepting every piece of advice without question. It doesn't mean never having your own opinions. Being coachable means being open to feedback. Being willing to consider that you might be wrong.
