Matchday Coaches will all be different. If and when I formally coach a Referee, I'd personally be more interested in whether they are in the right position to get a PK decision right, rather than what they had for breakfast. But each to their own......Hi all
My coach for my promotion has asked me what I will be doing to prepare for my game at the weekend. What does she mean by this?
Thanks
Agree, and so would I. But I still think getting the referees to think about what happens before the match day is a good idea, as if they have any aspirations to progress in the game they are going to have to do that.Matchday Coaches will all be different.

Pretty much this.Agree, and so would I. But I still think getting the referees to think about what happens before the match day is a good idea, as if they have any aspirations to progress in the game they are going to have to do that.
I went from L6 to L4, so from pub football to semi-pro football, and I certainly wish people had given me information about pre-match preparation. I've always been good with planning travel, but I had no idea about lifestyle and dietary changes potentially needed for that level. Yes, I should have realised that I couldn't keep going out with friends on a Friday night and getting home at 1am, but there are other things. I certainly had zero idea of nutrition and what I needed to eat / drink before and after the game.Pretty much this.
All comes down to where someone is in life as well. It might seem moot to some of us, where we don't need to think about thinking about what for breaky or the route we will take. Some, mostly less inexperienced in reffing and life, need to be prompted to think about these things as perhaps they haven't had to all that much before.
For example, I always check the time it takes to get to my games on the same day of the week I am travelling, so for example if I have to travel up the M5 on the 21st, I'll see what the time to travel is on the 14th. I do this because from experience I know the roads I travel are notoriously busier on a Saturday, so looking at how long it takes on a Friday night is just not accurate. I think if I were a coach I'd be tempted to be getting my referees thinking about these things, travel especially, as it will set them in good stead for the longer journeys promotion will bring.
From my recent training on being a Match Day Coach, as opposed to a observer, the training specifies to identify what areas of somebody's refereeing performance they want to get advice on. They will be looking to see what you have self-identified as your own development areas, what steps you are wishing to introduce into your performance to achieve this. They can then evaluate your effectiveness in doing this and offer potentially other solutions to your problem.Hi all

Not for you obviously, but for other newbies, always try and check SatNav at the time/day you will be travelling, pointless looking up the journey time on a Saturday afternoon for a midweek evening game.Pretty much this.
