We all have encountered the Policeman with his radar gun and we know we are over the speed limit. Does he pull everyone over - no. He employs a manner to pull over the worst offenders.
We as referees: • Provide structure and tone to a match. • So be good cops on rules and procedures. • Know when to enforce rules and when to lighten up. • We don’t have to control everything. • Avoid the “Gotcha” calls. • Be confident to stay out of the action. • Be present when needed and calm under pressure. • See that the competition is fair and safe using balanced judgment with a firm yet relaxed authority to keep our profile low-key. • Being bossy and full of ourselves draws attentionand turns others off. • The focus should be on the participants not the referees. • Do not be over controlling and arrogant. • Instead, be like chameleons. Blend in with finesse.
