Soccer Specific Training

My 15-year-old son refereed his very first game of football today. His first game — and his last. Will there be a second? No. In just one match he was shouted at more times than I could keep track of. And I don’t mean the usual “ref, how long?” kind of stuff. I mean full-on screeching, screaming, and being called “stupid,” “thick,” “blind” — and those were the polite words. He was called a cheat. He had expletives thrown at him by grown adults. Why? Because he gave a throw-in the “wrong” way. Because he didn’t see a foul the way someone else thought he should. Because he dared to make a call that somebody didn’t like. He’s 15. He’s learning. He’s not perfect — no referee is. But he was fair. He went out there with no bias, no agenda, just a love for the game and a willingness to step up so others could play. And the abuse broke him. After just one game, he walked off and said, “I’m done.” So to everyone who shouted, screamed, and tore into him today: don’t dress it up as “passion.” Your “passion” has cost the game a referee. Your “passion” has driven a young lad away after just 90 minutes. One less referee.

Crazy the amount of shit I’ve woke up to man. Am a bloody 21 kid who’s from crocky been given the chance to work for the UFC and people are calling me out on filming reactions. I’m squeezing every opportunity I can as I’ve worked everyday for it. Maybe I should have expected it but I just really am shocked. I don’t know it is what it is really 👊🏼

(11) sooo if the internet can do its thing, I would love to find these guys who helped me barricade Kenna and keep her safe for an hr - they’re from Wyoming, and said this was their first “huge game” like this. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 thank you thank you, I hope they ended up having fun!

@SethPartnow No he’s just honest.

🔥This is a great point shared by @Nyul_k 🤔Do enough teams have an organised set-up for attacking or defending penalties?
