Tamara Jarrett is the current COO of Elements Athletics, she joins the Crown Refs Podcast to talk about her unique journey from high-level college basketball to officiating and sports technology leadership. Tamara shares how her competitive mindset, leadership experience, and work in strength and conditioning led her into building solutions for one of youth sports’ biggest challenges: referee support, development, and retention.

We dive into the launch of Mic’d Up for Refs, a groundbreaking communication feedback tool that records and analyzes on-court interactions to help officials review their communication, handle conflict, and grow with a true “record of truth.” The conversation also explores referee abuse detection, the role of technology in improving sports culture, intramural and association partnerships, and how this innovation can shape the future of officiating across multiple sports. This is episode about abuse accountability, innovation, and building tools that serve the people who serve the game.
