Being a Ref Helps!!

I have recently been doing some of my hours and picking up tips on coaching by reffing soccer games. I feel that being a ref has helped me learn new things about the different styles of coaching such as an attack minded style and a balanced style. I enjoying being a ref because it gets me out and helps me with volunteering but not just that being a ref has allowed me to discuss with my mentor what makes some coaches good and successful and what doesn't work for some coaches. I was a referee at a U-16 girls game the other day and it so happened that it was my sisters team and while I was reffing I actually noticed things that I thought could have helped the team. After the game I actually discussed with others what I thought could have been done better and they agreed. Just by getting out I am learning new things.
