I suspect this is the single biggest development point for all referees once we get the training wheels off, grasp the laws, and get a bit of experience under our belt. I have had two of my three promotion observations (6-5) and I was above standard in a number of categories except only "at standard" for postioning. Over the two promotion seasons so far I have been a bit frustrated by conflicting advice on positioning from observation reports and/or development events.
I know the diagonal / s shape type advice but one thing I have been feeling recently is that I tend to end up ahead of play a bit but when I try to force myself hang back it feels wrong or too far from play.
Does anyone know where we can find some useful training/education material on this? FIFA slides? videos? etc.
