Self-Competency Assessment
Having both the ability and willingness to self-evaluate is critical to
becoming a better referee. You must be able to critique yourself and be
critiqued by others. Referees are usually their own greatest critic and this
should be the case. After every game you should analyse your match
performance and identify those aspects of your game that you did well and
those that you feel you may have done better.
In order to assist you in an honest and constructive evaluation, it is
suggested that you ask yourself the following questions in relation to your
recent performance:
PERSONALITY Competent
