>Tim,
A typical week for an NRL referee starts on Monday morning with a detailed review of your game with one of the referee coaches. This review involves the sideline officials and the video ref as well. At some stage on the Monday morning the referees and sideline officials wil have traning, the type of training will involve anything from a recovery session to a solid training session depnding on what day of the weekend that you refereed on. On Monday afternoon the squad will assemble i the office to view video footage of incidents out of the weekend that need clarification or that were particularly good or incorrect. Monay normally starts at 7.30 am and concludes at 4.30. On Tuesday we have three training sessions, stating at 8.00am with for example boxing and rowing and grinding. Later in the dy we will have a session on the park doing some positioning drills and finish at about 4.00pm with weights. In between the sessionswe have ime in the office where we conduct discussions on how our previous week was. Wednesday is our day off. Thursday is our big day where we start at 7.30 with a communication and rules discussion. We look at examples of communication issues that we had in games during the previous week and sometimes we do a rules exam. This is followe d by training at 8.30 and then another session at 9.30. The sessions you do are detrmined by what day you are refereeing on, on the upcoming weekend. At b11.00am we have a discusson on team work. At 3.00pm we have a session on positioning, ollowed by another session at 5.00pm with the sideline officials on movement and speed.After Thursday training will depend on what day yu have refereed. For example this week I am on Friday, so I will not train on Friday but am expected to complete a recovery session on Saturday morning before I debrief my game at home in preparation for Monday morning with the coach. My prep on game day is farly simple. I try to stay relaxed and not think fotball to much at all. In fact I tend not to switch on until it is time to do the warm up before the game. I find that if you think to much about it before hand you can waste alot of energy.

I hope that this has given you some idea of what we do in a typical week,

Regards,


Steve Clark
