Hi all,
I have had a long-standing interest in becoming a referee since playing starting becoming hard work. I have done some officiating in the past as a Cricket Umpire so I have a basic understanding from that in terms of officiating.
One of the reasons I haven't taken the plunge before now was due to a lot of stories I read on social media about referee abuse and referees generally being treated badly and I am not perhaps as thick-skinned as I need to be. What advice or encouragement would you give me to overcome this "doubt"?
Thanks
Mike
