Reffed team 2 wks ago, team felt your decision cost the match. Have them again. How do you deal? brendan_m_mitch https://padlet.com/brendan_m_mitch/KC16Tech3/wish/115854637 -Self-doubt about decisions in that match which impacts the next match.
-Challenge the thoughts. If players don't like you because they can't score the goals, that's not on you.
-Self-assess and confirm your knowledge of the LotG.
-If capt/coaches approach in next week, complaining about last week, ask them to focus on this week and let last week be gone.
-Avoid building up the situation through voice/attitude]]> 2016-07-03 10:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/brendan_m_mitch/KC16Tech3/wish/115854637 2. As AR, close OS decision, leave flag down and allow play. Resultant DOGSO scenario. Defending team and TA react angrily. brendan_m_mitch https://padlet.com/brendan_m_mitch/KC16Tech3/wish/115854672 -Could self-doubt about capability and correctness of decision.
-Would impact on future calls and increase anxiousness.
-Potential for sympathetic or 'make-up' calls as a result.
-Use evidence to build self-belief in decision correctness at that time.
-Evidence-based self-talk.
-Self-belief will generate confidence in body language, speech and decision-making.]]> 2016-07-03 10:36:15 UTC https://padlet.com/brendan_m_mitch/KC16Tech3/wish/115854672 3. Been given an upgrade match (18s instead of 16s), see assessor on sidelines. brendan_m_mitch https://padlet.com/brendan_m_mitch/KC16Tech3/wish/115854705 -Self-doubt in ability caused by presence of assessor.
-Playing 'hunt the assessor' - impacts decision making.
Might lead to head dropping and poor body-language.
-Taking adv of game given - given on merit. Use that to build self-belief.
-Should always try to enjoy yourself.]]> 2016-07-03 10:40:07 UTC https://padlet.com/brendan_m_mitch/KC16Tech3/wish/115854705 Half-Time Review brendan_m_mitch https://padlet.com/brendan_m_mitch/KC16Tech3/wish/115854723 Whether right or wrong in first half is irrelevant for the second half.
Back your judgement and what you SEE - evidence-based judgement.]]> 2016-07-03 10:41:10 UTC https://padlet.com/brendan_m_mitch/KC16Tech3/wish/115854723 4. Have to give RC. Teammates of player say you got it wrong. Same scenario arises 5 min later. brendan_m_mitch https://padlet.com/brendan_m_mitch/KC16Tech3/wish/115854767 - Self-doubt from the comments by players which creates domino affect as it causes self-questioning in future decisions.
-Stop and rethink the EVIDENCE that cause you to make the original decision. Use knowledge of the LotG to back your decision in self-talk.
- Use it as a lesson even if you get it wrong. Make decisions based on evidence.
-Football is not life or death...in Australia at least.]]> 2016-07-03 10:45:52 UTC https://padlet.com/brendan_m_mitch/KC16Tech3/wish/115854767 Players brendan_m_mitch https://padlet.com/brendan_m_mitch/KC16Tech3/wish/115854797 -They try to influence.
