Today conference to international boxing referees and judges during a Refresher Course organized by the International Boxing Federation. The topic is little talked about but of great interest and concerned ethics in sport.
It is an area that is too little talked about and often only limited to doping. On the contrary, however, each of us is continually immersed in ethical choices in our daily lives. No one can disregard evaluating whether what he or she is doing is right or wrong, is ethical or not. To which morality our actions respond we are for God, Fatherland and Nation or for Liberty, Equality and Fraternity, we are for spreading the culture of work or for amoral familism.
Arbitration is a complex activity that requires individuals with effective and efficient psychological development that enables them to make decisions as objectively as possible, accepting that they can also make mistakes. They must learn to handle the stress related to the sporting situations they encounter and which they must evaluate with care, depth of judgment but also with speed and efficiency.
I talked about how every human being has developed biases in his or her life and how the referee should shed them competently and also through specific psychological preparation.
