Description
Master the art of effective hockey umpire communication with our Advanced Communications System course. Designed for umpires taking neutral appointments, this comprehensive program provides a proven blueprint for pre-match colleague coordination, in-match verbal efficiency, and post-match professional interactions that will elevate your officiating presence on and off the pitch.
This three-part series with Keely Dunn of FHumpires eliminates the guesswork of when to speak, what to say, and how to deliver it. You'll learn specific protocols for building trust with new colleagues, precise language patterns that command respect during matches, and professional post-game strategies that enhance your reputation. Based on data-driven insights and real-world experience, you'll finally have the confidence to communicate effectively in every umpiring situation.
