Paulsen:Psychologie für Schiedsrichter

Football referees are challenged not only physically but also mentally. Managing a game requires more than just knowledge of the rules. Referees oversee a match for its entire duration and make decisions in a matter of seconds. Perception, judgment, and decision-making are psychological processes. Psychology, as the science of human experience and behavior, helps to better understand and optimize these processes. It also provides useful knowledge for communicating decisions and interacting with players and coaches. This comprehensive yet practical book assists referees in better understanding the mental demands on the field and provides them with tools to optimize their performance. It covers classic topics discussed among referees, such as personality and personality development, teamwork among referees, and stress management.
