Pro umpires get graded on every pitch they call. Nobody’s too good to be reviewed.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Being reviewed is not a punishment handed to people who are failing. At the top of almost any skill the checking gets more detailed rather than less, because that is what stops the standard drifting. If people whose judgement is their entire job accept being measured, the resistance you feel to it is about comfort, not expertise.

Set up one piece of regular checking on something you care about. Film of your own game, a practice paper marked honestly, a manager asked for one thing to improve. Make it routine enough that it stops feeling like a verdict.
