Psychology for skater referees

Usually we think that the referees are those who feel the most stress are football and team games umpires or we think at the excessive subjectivity of the gymnastics or ice skating referees, where they must evaluate the technical and expressive performances immune to international trick. There is however at least one other type of referee performance extremely complex and it’s that of roller skating. I have known these referees involved in a very demanding job,because the offenses occur in a fraction of seconds and athletes are continuously engaged in committing offenses in order to win. The quality of their perception, attention and memory is continuously stressed and on this are based their decisions. At the same time they have to suffer the fan insults and the complaints of athletes. Their world is a really complex, that no expert has yet been taken.
