Positioning/Movement
1 = Good
Positioning along touchline during active play and staying at the offside line
Positioning/Movement Comments
Very strong positioning. We discussed varying position on Corner Kicks. Don't let teams get an idea of where you like to be. The good defenders will exploit it.
Decision Making/Rules Application:
1 = Good
Decision Making/Rules Application: Comments
Foul recognition was good, and appropriate for the match. No concerns. Good job dealing with an over involved AR.
Interaction with Team
1 = Good
Interaction with Team Comments
You handled coaches very well... allowed some venting when appropriate, and then shut them down when it was time.
Your overall calm demeanor kept this game from boiling over... you had some emotional benches that could have exploded at any time, but they didn't
"Coach, you go talk to your team, and I'm going to go talk to mine" - Fantastic.

Signaling:
1 = Good
Position at corner for signaling GK or CK
Signaling Coments
We talked about your "casual signals"... for the most part, not an issue, as long as you can break out of it when you need to be more forcefull. I would suggest your very first foul call of the game is more forcefull... then you can break out the casual as the game allows.

Comments for the Mentee
As I mentioned, I thought this was a very well officiated game. You handled emotional coaches quite well, allowing them just the right amount of venting before you drew the line for them and let them know they had reached it. They responded to you.
A+ in your sub management, especially the ones you delayed in order to keep the flow of the game.
A- in your positioning... we talked about the varying position on corner kicks, and the one time you got stacked on the break away 1 on 1 with the keeper. Sacrifice some distance for a better angle.
Things to keep in mind for future games:
Halftime, especially when there is controversy (cancelled PK call) - Don't walk straight into the bench area. Go find your crew, gather yourself, be aware and see what's coming towards you (in this case a coach... we will assume he was a coach:) ).
Conversations with coaches at halftime aren't obligatory, but if you choose to, keep conversation short... Let them vent, be heard, then get on with your halftime.
Hands on hips... minor in the grand scheme, but we talked about what coaches see when their own players do that, or when their opponents do. No reason to let them think that about us if we can help it.
