How to bounce back after poor games.
Just to set some background ive been a ref for about 2 years more or less and done different leagues and tournaments and i do adult leagues as well but today i just had done a Center for a U15 game for NAL but was probably the worst game I had so far. I made like 5 mistakes for not seeing fouls and some incorrect decisions. I tried to the best of my ability to keep up with the play and run my ass off especially in the 2nd half since the first half was atrocious. I felt like everything was against me and I was alone on the field despite having 2 AR with me. I don't want to escape goat but I felt my 2 AR didn't support me enough. I tried telling one of them to be clear with his signals since his signal mechanics were very unclear and the other that if he sees a foul and call what he sees along as he takes into account my position on the field and were the foul occurred. But at the end of the day im the one responsible since im the center. Just want tips for getting over bad games since I felt like quitting right there and then. I had a parent come up to me at half time and he absolutely berated me calling me the worst that he never see a ref this bad that I should hand in the badge to my boss. All the stuff under the sun for dissent but he walked up to me to say that.
