  1. Game Management Paul Tamberino ACC and Ivy League Supervisor of Officials Co-Founder of the ELITE COLLEGE SOCCER REFEREES

  2. Player Management • PLAYER MANAGEMENT IS KEY TO A SUCCESSFUL GAME AND A SUCCESSFUL CAREER. • WHAT IS PLAYER MANAGEMENT, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, HOW DOES ONE IMPLEMENT IT?

  3. Definition of Player Management • ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT OPINIONS REGARDING PLAYER MANAGEMENT, IT IS UP TO YOU TO DISCERN WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU.  • THE FOLLOWING ARE PERSONAL EXPERIENCES THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THAT I BELIEVE WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN BEING AWARDED  FOUR CONSECUTIVE MLS REFEREE OF THE YEAR AWARDS DURING MY PROFESSIONAL CAREER.

  4. IS IT FAIR? • A referee is a “judge” and just as a judge in the judicial system must be fair, the referee must be fair. Players must be treated fairly, regardless of any past history. This premise is essential to gain respect.

  5. RESPECT • Players and referees alike deserve respect. You cannot get respect without giving respect. Players work hard at every level and as guardians of the game, we must give credit where credit is due. Embrace the fact that these athletes are there to play hard and to win.

  6. PERSONALITY • A person’s attitude, emotional response, and other individual traits make up ones personality. •  Attitude. How do you approach the game? You should enjoy officiating EVERY game you work. There are others you will enjoy more, but all games should be enjoyable. •  Emotional Responses.  There are “reactions” and “overreactions”. We witness many referees “overreacting” to situations that only cause more emotional upheaval. Referees need to remain calm in all instances. This is not to say that you should not show displeasure towards an undesirable action, but a referee cannot have an extreme level of emotional response.

  7. LIKEABILITY • Many may say this has nothing do with player management. As a reminder, this is based on my personal experience. In my professional and collegiate career, players and coaches “liked” me. • Why? Because of the traits listed above. They knew that I was going to treat them “fair”, give them “respect” and I had a great “attitude” towards them and the game. I did not “overreact” to situations but “reacted” to what was happening and why it was happening.

  8. COMMUNICATION • Players and coaches desire communication. There are numerous thoughts on this, but in my experience, talking to players most of the game is beneficial.   Body language plays a huge role in communication.

  9. How to Manage Players • Is the player upset? Ask why. • Is the player injured? Ask if he/she is ok. • Is the player angry? Calm him/her down. • Is the player frustrated? Encourage him/her.

  10. Case Studies • You will be given a number. Your group will congregate in a designated area with your team leader to discuss a case scenario. • Your group facilitator will give the conclusion to the case study • Group Facilitators: • #1 Abbas Piran • #2 Larry Stroud, Jr, • #3 Jude Carr • #4 Ayman Nabulsi

  11. #1-Abbas From the very beginning of the game, one of the coaches is barking at every play (no profanity). This continues the entire first half. •  Do you take any action? •  If so, when do you take the action? And what type of action do you take?

  12. #2-Larry In a competitive game, one of the coaches questions some of the decisions of the referee. The other coach remains quiet and only coaches his players. Halfway through the first half, the quiet coach realizes that the referee is being influenced by the barking coach. He approaches you at halftime to raise his concern. • What steps do you take? As the 2nd half begins, nothing has changed. Now the quiet coach begins to question decisions  and now both coaches are screaming at the referees decisions. • What steps do you take now?

  13. #3-Jude In an intense game between 2 rival teams, a defender is tightly marking the dangerous attacker. Both are strong, physical players, but both are playing within the rules. • As the game progresses in the early stages of the first half, you hear both players talking to each other declaring that they are the best. • Do you do anything at this point? If so, what and how do you speak to the players?

  14. #4-Ayman In a game that is intense and emotional but not very technical, the emotions run high on the field and in the bench area. Play is very fast but again, not very technical. There are fouls but nothing “over the top”. This continues for most of the first half when in the ’35 a hard foul is committed near the bench area. •  What action do you take (if any)?

  15. In Summary 1. Be FAIR to the Game, Players, and Coaches 2. Give RESPECT to the Players and to the Game 3. Develop a PERSONALITY which works for you 4. Strive for LIKEABILITY by being FAIR and giving RESPECT to the Game and the Players 5. COMMUNICATE to the players RESPECTFULLY verbally and with non-verbal techniques
