The Mental Health Side of Officiating with: Nathan Sherratt

According to the Bureau of Labour and Statistics
employment of umpires, referees, and other sports officials is projected to
grow 32 percent from 2021 to 2031, much faster than the average for all
occupations.

About 3,600 openings for umpires,
referees, and other sports officials are projected each year, on average, over
the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to
replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force,
such as to retire.

Nathan Sherratt is an active football
referee with an off the field story which “I use to inspire and improve the
lives of referees of all ages and levels. I am the Managing Director of The
Third Team where I support referees by making them aware about all things
related to resilience and mental toughness to enhance their performance and
improve their mental health. In addition, I work with schools, colleges and
universities communicating similar messages through the vehicle of refereeing.

I’m also a Mental Health Ambassador,
Autism charity trustee and Speaker.” He joined me this week to tell me more.
