LIKE players rising up the representative ranks, umpires have to continue learning and adjust to different situations.
That's exactly what Ipswich hockey duo Hayden Michel and Natalie Walker achieved at the latest Australian under-15 championships in Bathurst.
Michel, 21, officiated in the boys bronze medal match won by Victoria over Western Australian Gold.
As a dual registered Ipswich and Brisbane competition player and Australian indoor hockey representative, Michel offered an honest insight into his latest challenge.
"I had a rough start,'' said Michel, who plays for Hancock Brothers in the Ipswich competition.
"I had a banger third match and then just got consistent from there.''
