this is their job. the collegiate level as well. but when they see me in stripes, i'm just one of the officials that's out there. it just so happens that i am a female. but when we're out there working we're a team and just trying to go unnoticed like i said, and i'm just one of the guys. >> now, i have three teenage sons and we go and watch soccer. one of the joys of that bonding experience is shouting at the referees. now, you've got two sons, 12 and 9, as well as a young daughter. how are they going to react? are they going to go to the football and want to instinctively shout at the referee for a bad call and discover it's their mum? >> i always tell them if i'm coaching them or being a mom to them, don't ever be in a game when you're playing or sitting back watching and let the official make one play that you think blew the game. you've got a lot of opportunities as an athlete, as a player to make a difference
