I was a rugby league referee for 15 seasons. I started with under 6's in the juniors and worked my way right up to 2nd Grade in the seniors. In this role I worked in a team with two touch judges to adjudicate a game. The challenges involved included staying concentrated and composed for over an hour in front of large "engaged" crowds (up to 1000 people) while analysing situations in the game and appropriately applying the laws of the game to make decisions. Not only did I have to adjudicate to the rules of that game, but also I had to control the game (often played amongst tough teenagers) and be proactive by trying to prevent "unsportingly" events from occurring. This is all while under physical fatigue from moving around the field and intrinsic pressure from constant assessment from a mentor referee. The role expanded beyond the footy field with follow-up meetings and judiciary hearings relating to on-field and off-field discretions. In these hearings I was placed in front of a panel to whom I would state my version of events and then I would be open to questions from the panel and from the infringing player's party (which often included legal representatives). The skills and experience I gained from my time as a referee has formed my skills in leadership, team work, organisation, being able to conduct myself appropriately and make correct decisions while under pressure and most of all communication skills.
