Officials

Athletes United wants to emphasize that officials are people who deserve the same level of respect as everyone else in sport.

Officiating can be very rewarding and foster a great sense of achievement while participating in a sport you truly enjoy. Despite this, officials often experience harsh criticism from others and the responsibilities can be demanding. Athletes United understands these situations can have a direct impact on the mental and emotional state of one’s well-being and are here to assist with pursuing or managing your current role.

Athletes United can support the following:

• I want to become an official, but I am concerned about the time and financial commitments.
• I have a hard time dealing with criticism and disrespect from coaches, players, and spectators.
• I am looking to improve my communication with coaches and players.
• I lack confidence in certain areas and do not want to appear uncertain.
• I lack the ability to control the game at times.
• I am trying to navigate teamwork and competitiveness with other officials.
• I have questions I don’t feel comfortable bringing up to a supervisor.
• I am looking to progress to higher levels of officiating.

These are just some of the areas in which officials may need mentorship. Our experienced team members are here to help you take the next step in your officiating journey. Book a FREE 15-minute consultation today.
