Humans not robots

So, can the perfect referee exist?  The answer is simple, is very difficult that one exists, as the judges are human and not robots and they will always have a deficit of some sort.  However, every possible effort is made so the referees can become elite officials, the best.  But for them to become perfect is very unlikely.  Let us think about Pierluigui Collina, who having being one of the best in the world, more than once left the field defeated.  The day that the perfect referee exists, will be when there will be no errors on the field of play, that is, never.

The mind helps

What a referee thinks of himself is also very important as the psychological part is fundamental.  If a referee does not have the conviction that he will succeed in soccer, he will be lost.  Many of the referees, who have overcome different calamities and have reached the elite level in refereeing, are proof of this concept.  As a matter of fact, the majority not only thinks about refereeing, but also about their invisible preparation which is the best for their training, because this is what keeps them out of scandals of any type.   

Strive to be…

The referee that comes closest to perfection is the one that is firm, fair and with talent.  He does not flinch because of emotional outbursts or the barking from the fans.  Is the one who brings together genetics, talent, nutrition, training, integrity, and of course a successful mentality.  The search for the perfect referee perhaps ends up being the exact and balanced sum of things for which every judge must fight.
