Head of Referees from Qatar at the REFEREE.PL in Antalya

Now since this is the first time we have Qatari referees for the camp we have asked Mr Mohammed to share with us some words about his country and refereeing.

First day session 2, Wednesday – Goodbye and hello :)

Like in a FIBA tournament, today we had a day off. People from first session were leaving, so transfers to the airport and another session was coming. Goodbyes and hellos.

Final Day 4 Session 1 – Speak to the ones who inspire you!

Now, the last day of the final session arrived…

As we want to take the most of last day, no one is tired, no one complains, and so in this mood we have started the first lecture of the day at 8.30 by Carl Jungebrand. All the instructors’ team came for this lecture. Mentioning that Costas had no lecture today and still he was there, because he also wants to learn. Impressive. Carl was telling us some important things. As referees we are never attacking, we hold the position, so we must defend the position.  This is mental versus psychical challenge. When you walk there, nothing is going to happen that you don’t control! You need to know it! – Carl Jungebrand.
