How do you take criticism?
Criticism could be healthy. I’ m open to constructive criticisms which will help me gain knowledge of the game, improve and get better. Criticism which is obviously destructive I just ignore.

What about your future?
I take life step by step, match by match, and season by season. The more I gain experience, the more I learn and mature as a referee, one can never say that one knows enough. I believe that in order to achieve long term goals it’s of utmost importance to be consistent in our local league. Well, once being a premier division referee the next step would that of becoming an international referee.

Do you consider the public respect you as referees?
The majority of the public respect us as referees. Even though when we are officiating supporters, players, coaches protest it doesn't mean that they don’t respect us. People who are into sport know the sacrifices and commitments we referees have, like players and coaches.

What about your family’s reactions?
My family gives me full support and follows me a lot. Sometimes my mum and sister are worried that something might turn wrong during a match, however when I arrive home they are pleased. On the other hand my father and brother are very enthusiastic about football and always try to give me good tips to improve my refereeing. It’s thanks to them, for their commitment, encouragement and understanding, I m a referee today.

How do you prepare yourself before a match?
Preparation is always the same because it’s vital to be focused for every match, whether it’s a 3rd division match or a Premier match. Preparation should be through the whole season by training intensively with our coach on the physical side and gym work on my own. When I have a match I try to sleep well the night before, while on match day I eat light food and relax by listening to some music.
