I'm now just over 10 games into refereeing- so still fairly new to it.
In the first half I am fine when signalling for throw-ins and free kicks, but my brain always seems to be fried when the teams swap after HT. I've found myself caught like a deer in the headlights, where players are looking at me. While I know which team a throw is for, I simply panic as to which arm to use and either get it wrong or take ages (which makes it seem like I don't know what I'm doing).
Does anyone have any advice on how to avoid this- and get used to the fact that things are the other way around?
Many thanks
