PRO REFEREEING

Scientific training for PEAK PERFORMANCE

Top referees in XXI century needs are complex

Refereeing is not only about technical skills or a simple fitness test.

Peak performance in refereeing requires a professional approach to excelence.

In fact referees suffer from stress problems, uncertainty, intense self talk with negative thoughts, emotional issues and sleep disorders.

In the field of play they are supposed to officiate with "charisma, strong personality and team work".

They even have to solve with verbal and non verbal skills the arising of conflicts and mass confrontations.

Their decission making process in the game is influenced by their perception, but they are usually not trained in visual sports skills.

Despite these are real problems, they usually aren't taught in scientific skills to manage conflicts, release stress, balance emotions or prevent and avoid mass confrontations in the game. They even don't know about how to profile their own personality and adapt it to the game and players. They are supposed to be great leaders, but they don´t always have the tools to do it.

What do you need?

Scientific proven methods to:

• release stress,
  
• manage emotions,
  
• set goals,
  
• apply leadership,
  
• know your personality style in the game,
  
• master your behavior in the game,
  
• sleep better,
  
• create team building with your colleagues,
  
• avoid mass confrontations in the field of play,
  
• keep focused
  
• and improve your vision skills.
  

It's for you if...

You are a professional referee (or want to be) and you deal with these situations on a daily basis.

Why these methods?

I have been working with professional referees since 2007 in FIFA, FIBA Europe, A.F.C., O.F.C., S.A.F.F., U.A.E.F.A., C.V.C.A, J.F.A. and F.M.F. Currently I am a consultant for S.A.F.F. and O.F.C. and run online seminars in C.V.C.A.

Along the years Elite Referees demand specific skills to improve performance. I have a PhD in Psychology / cognitive neuroscience and currently my research is on emotions (expression, regulation, and social features).

I was the first person to create specific protocols to manage conflicts in the field of play and along with doctors a protocol to train specific visual skills for referees.
