I have a mentee who was only verbally abused yesterday (adults ganging up on a 16 year old girl refereeing her 9th ever game)
Fortunately she seems to be made of strong stuff stronger than her parents who wouldn't have been averse to her giving up.
I hope the young lady concerned is ok. Please send some love and support from me and thank you for looking after her. This is where good mentors are so important.
Thanks,
She's fine, a toughie who wants to succeed and won't let them put her off.
I'll surely send her your good wishes when next we speak.
AT has been in touch already and she has lots of support, particularly from our growing cohort of female officials who are much more familiar than I with the particular difficulties young female referees encounter
