Overview

What separates a good sports official from a great one? Sports officials are judged on split-second decisions made under pressure, in front of hostile crowds, with no second chances. Yet, unlike the players they oversee, referees and umpires have almost no structured way to practise. The Sports Official's Journal changes that. Built on scientific research into confidence, resilience, motivation, and decision-making, this journal provides officials from every sport with a proven framework to reflect on their performance, strengthen their mental game, and take control of their development. Whether you're a newly qualified referee or a seasoned official, the structured exercises and reflective sheets inside will help you step onto the pitch - and stay there - with greater confidence, consistency, and purpose. About the author: Stuart Carrington is Associate Head of School for Coaching, Pedagogy, and Performance Analysis at St Mary's University in London. His primary area of research is sports officials, in particular the development of psychological skills training to aid wellbeing and performance. Stuart is also the author of the acclaimed book: ""Blowing the Whistle: The Psychology of Football Refereeing"".
