The Art of Refereeing
The best referees manage the game without making it about themselves.

 

Part One focuses on five core areas that define top officiating:

EMPATHY. RESPECT. BRANDING. COMMUNICATION. CONTROL.

This isn’t about ego. It’s about presence, timing, and trust—so players play and the game flows.

55% of what you say isn’t words.
Body language, tone, and timing do the heavy lifting.

Ref well. Say less. Mean more.
