You had good movement, kept up with play, and worked your diagnal well. Try to keep your lead AR in your view as you watch play as much as possible.
Decision Making/Rules Application:
1 = Good
Decision Making/Rules Application: Comments
Foul selection was good. Good work with the dropped ball restart after getting hit with the ball (don't get hit, but it happens).
Interaction with Team
2 = Satisfactory
Interaction with Team Comments
Overall, your communication with the team was good. We discussed about what to do with an injury when you need to bring a coach on the field to check on their player. Never a good idea to hang out there with the injured player to make yourself an easy target for the coach to question/complain. Bring the coach on, then move away so that the coach has to go out of their way to engage you. Be aware of the 2nd coach coming on the field, who only appeared interested in talking to you and not helping the injured player. When dealing with an injury situation, that is not the time for the coach to 1) speak to you; 2) coach their players. If either of those are happening, redirect the coach(s)' attention to their injured player.
Signaling:
2 = Satisfactory
Position at corner for signaling GK or CK
Signaling Coments
Signals were mostly good... we discussed the unusual signal after the goal (pointing towards the goal). That signal could easily be confused with something else you may want from the play (goal kick, spot for an offside, etc.) Instead, point to the center spot to indicate "kick off".

Also, practice with that whistle... that has to get much much louder. Practice expressing your emotions with that whistle... How will players know you didn't like that foul? How will they know you didn't think that tackle was a big deal?

Yes
Did the referee wear black shorts
Yes
Did the referee wear black socks that were pulled up just below the knee
Yes
Uniform/Appearance comments
Consider sunglasses use... totally understandable in our high desert conditions... just be aware that sunglasses decrease eye contact with your teammates.
Comments for the Mentee
Louder whistle. Remember, you can hear the whistle just fine, so you think it's louder than it is. Keep practicing with it.
Mentor's Recommendation
Mentee is Good to Center Games
Comments for the Assignor
Paul did a decent job. Has to, just has to, get that whistle louder. He did well on this game, but he will struggle on more completive games until his whistle issue is fixed.
