You will never get a second chance to create a first impression. The body language portrait by a referee will reflects the personality and ability of the referee. Body language includes your physical appearance, fitness, the clothes you wear, posture, eye contact, touching behavior, gestures, facial expressions, arm and hand movements and even no movement at all. 55% of the message to others is communicated through body language, 38% through the intonation of the voice and only 7% by the actual content of what is said. Thus, to maximize communication, the body language must not contradict to what is being said and the tone in which it is being delivered.
Through body language the feelings of the referee can be conveyed to players. The feeling of confident, interest, knowledgeable, enthusiasms, cold or is he is scared out of his wits. Referee needs to know and be aware on how he looked. Is he tidy, professional, clean slovenly (sloppy or untidy), dirty or shirt not tucked in? When you are talking, how do you sound to others? Do you sound scared, confident, quiet, loud, know what you are talking about, authoritative, polite, rude, mumbling or do not have a clue?
How do I adopt or adapt a positive body language? Dressed smartly and be attentive when attending training. When given an appointment, do not blow out your cheeks or roll your eyes upwards when given a ‘low level’ match. You should show that you can be relied on to officiate in any game.
When arriving at the field or stadium, this will be your first chance to make an impression with the players and the club officials. Make sure your dress is tidy and walk upright towards the changing room. Be friend and polite at all times. Make sure you arrive on time so that you are not rushing to prepare yourself for game. When inspecting the field of play, this will show that you are capable, confident and have the authority to do the match. Don’t have cigarette hanging out of your mouth. Chewing gum or areca nuts can also be seen as being arrogant and over confident. Be smart and think about what sort of impression you are giving to onlookers. This is the time when the player will weigh and judge you before the match. When entering the field of play, this the most important body language time of the referee. Stride out confidently, looking smart and well dressed is half the battle won. If you are going to make a first impression, this is the right time do so. You will not get a second chance to make a first impression. Before leaving the dressing room, check that you are properly dressed and have the correct equipment (cards, pen, notebook, coin and whistle) in the correct place.
When greeting the captains, stand upright, greet with a firm handshake. Toss the coin and collect it with your palm. Letting it drop on to the ground or fumbling for the coin will show incompetency.
