SPORT PSYCHOLOGY for officials

​Are you a referee or an umpire? Don’t feel left out. Train Your Mind has worked with officials at every level from the most amateur to referees at the FIFA World Cup. Train Your Mind worked with the UEFA Referee Development Program to increase referee efficiency though group and individual classes. In our eyes the ref is an athlete too. He or she needs excellent focus, concentration, communication, leadership skills and more. ​

At Train Your Mind, we treat our referees like we treat our athletes, coaches and teams. Referees need to be on top of their game every time they step on the field and they need to have consistently high performance outcomes. 

Being a referee is tough so we are here to help you get better.

Some skills we assist referees with are (but not limited to):

• Focus and concentration.

• Game prep and visualization.
• Conflict management.
• Improving communication skills.
• Mistake management

"When I was promoted to referee at the Champions League level for the first time I was excited but very nervous. Thanks to the UEFA Referee Development Program and Train Your Mind I was able to get access to mental skills training for the first time. The workshops with world class referees were great but I found that the individual sessions with Train Your Mind, when tailored to my specific needs, really helped me manage my nerves and accept the honor of being promoted more readily".
