  3. Why is bad behaviour so difficult to deal with? • We don’t like it • We can’t control it • We have no time to deal with it • We don’t know how to deal with it • We don’t know what to do about it

  4. The Art of Refereeing • “The art of refereeing, like the art of medicine, requires not just a thorough knowledge of the laws but the craft to intervene wisely. I am not shy about making decisions – few doctors are – but stopping play for every misdemeanor destroys the flow and frustrates the players…” • “The laws also dictate that as a referee, I have ‘full authority’ and that my decisions ‘are final’. They do not however, suggest reciting this to players unhappy with those final decisions, unless resentment is the objective.” Taken from: theguardian.com, Sunday 10 June 2012 ‘How refereeing soccer made me a better doctor”

  5. Mental Demands vs. Physical Demands of Refereeing

  6. Referees are a Managing TEAM (United States Soccer Federation) • It is the responsibility of the referee team to establish and communicate a clear set of rules and guidelines for players to follow and to create an environment that encourages players to uphold those rules and guidelines.

  10. That’s all it takes, right? WRONG! • “On a few occasions I have not done that [stand up and be counted] and learned along the way that you are there to do a job. If a big decision needs to be made then it needs to be made and if you don’t make it then it inadvertently end up raising your profile by not doing the job.” Howard Webb, appointed referee for 2010 Champions League & World Cup final
