Teamwork Matters
For an enjoyable game, you need good officiating, and for good officiating
you need great teamwork. You can be the best referee in the world but
without good team dynamics your game will suffer.
We have all been there many times: where we didn't notice anything wrong.
We were even happy convincing ourselves about how good the calls had
been on the game. Now we know that it is not only our performance that is
the ultimate key.
If is the TEAM that matters!
What makes a team work?
Think about your last game when the team was in perfect sync. Your
colleagues knew that you would make the call on your area when it was
necessary and you knew that they would only help you out when it was
really desirable.
When you needed it, they did help you out and you were grateful for the
assistance instead of thinking they were doubting you.
Team TRUST!
It is just as simple as that. You have to trust each other within the team to
foster collaboration on the pitch.
If you don't trust your team, your subconscious will find creative ways to
show your doubt in their abilities. And when you do trust them, they will feel
it and act on it.
A lot of conflicts are involved in every game. Why put more stress on
yourself on the pitch when it is not necessary? With trust binding your
team, you will have much less weight on your shoulders.
