Positioning/Movement Comments
When the ball leaves the field over the goal line last touched by a defender, remember to first move closer to the corner, come to a full stop, look at the referee, then signal the corner kick. At one instance I observed you still moving while signaling the CK, which didn't look as sharp as it could have been. You did appear to improve on this on this technique to some degree at subsequent ball-out-of-play situations.
Simon showed good anticipation for the dynamic nature of play, and did well to run with the attack down the touchline.

Comments for the Mentee
In addition to the comments above, remember to switch the flag between the left and right hands when moving or standing facing the field. Use the 'field side - referee side' adage as a guide to the correct carry hand (i.e. flag should be in the hand closest to the Referee).
As I mentioned to you at the field remember the proper way to signal a valid goal scored, is to look at the Referee, drop the flag straight down in your right hand, and run up the field for 10 to 15 yards. You should avoid raising the flag in anyway if the goal is valid.
You were close to the status of AR'ing without a mentor, but T.J. and I would like to see you be mentored just once more so that you can show us you've got all the positioning and signaling mechanics down and with good form.
