Communicating With Officials During a Match

Communicating With Officials During a Match

Discipline 3: Communication — Lesson 7 of 12
Lecturer: Priya Ansell

The whistle moves on. Make sure you do too. This session covers asking questions rather than making statements to officials, picking one voice to speak for the team, and letting a decision go once it's made.

The three rules

1. Ask, don't state.
2. Pick one voice.
3. Let it go once decided.

*The full breakdown — citations, the lecturer's own story, and the discipline's quiz bank — is part of the Spy Academy programme.*
