Keith Hackett, counted among the top 100 referees of all time, discusses how to improve at officiating.
HOW TO BECOME A BETTER REFEREE
A Referee must always strive for perfection in their career, knowing that every time they go out onto the field of play to officiate a game it is an opportunity to learn.
Nothing should have been left in the dressing room, for 100% effort will reap reward.
When you are watching games either on television or at a stadium, I want referees to look closely at the team of officials. Examine the movement of the referee in open play and positioning at set pieces. Consider the quality of the decision-making accuracy and the way decisions are communicated to the players and fans. How did the referee manage conflict? A referee should study these aspects in the top officials.
