HOW TO FOSTER YOUR Command Presence

  • Command presence is about presenting yourself as someone in authority who is trusted and respected. ​​
  • It is important that referees know how to effectively communicate with players and coaches. 
  • Command presence is a method of player management. Player management involves how referees approach the game and interact with players. It is how referees connect with players and coaches in order to get their attention and cooperation. 
  • Command presence is not about power or control. ​
