one at walmart, one with one on to sunday afternoon in germany. time to football. a 4th division matches about to take off with the referee princess heavier boy than you begin, thus in mosul for me, it always starts with the woman for com. that's when i'm fully concentrated focused . benita foisy cli, i'm in my football tunnel, my referee tunnel. i don't have any other thoughts. i me i'm going to duncan. mm hm. oh francisco it for as well established as a referee for the women's game. she officiating the women's, been this lega, and starting this year. also it's nationally been in the mens regional leagues. she's only been refereeing for 2 years. them in office one is not mentioned at all, is different from women's physical summer. you gain new insights that you can

improve in a different way than in a women's games for life. but that's why it's very important for me to referee as many men's games as possible from workers to lighten women referees, at men's games are still the exception to the top tiers of gym and purple. there are currently only 7 of them. one in the 3rd division and 6 in the regional leagues, the germans face and catching up to do, but not the fans in the stadium. they like referees like fences, gavin play. democracy is doing a great job and she's in charge. you can hear some things today because it's not so loud. a lotus democracy is doing a good job today. and the fema referees we have in germany also do a good job and they're learning every day, just like their male colleagues. a colleague that's actually kind of an of all course, a woman can also referee a bonus league, a match or a regional league match type. that's a quality or like breaking the darby between

regional rivals hill this time and hanover makes a 27 year old. really a her money. she runs about 10 kilometers in whiskey while players can take little breathing now and then build for as constantly on the moon. and sometimes she has to calm down a hot headed player. 5 in what's in your hand, that soon emotions are a part of it than been and if someone's upset, i'm certainly not going to get loud to that doesn't help at all the sin. wonder cotton russell. first of all, i let any emotions him down gently. sometimes you also have to show some understanding. he knocks it while you deal with each situation, whether that means a yellow card has cold fall or some calming words can help walk to his oh, francisco very fair manage is quite well this afternoon. she's always there always around the ball and she makes the right decision, having a female referee after 90 minutes of play. it's not an issue that mo,

spectators or players think twice about in front of us would remotely did a good job and we haven't had a woman ref in a long time. i'm happy. i was rather feed much on the so you can tell she was a bit overwhelmed. it wasn't fair how she handed out the cards. we got 6, the others only got 2 or 3 because she after the game, the officiating crew only takes a short break and a lot of room. then they start evaluating their work. yes. you spoke with good news excuses. oh, good. yeah. as long it's 5 years, 6 ought oh, it was on. yeah. so to gail, no, i miss as did you get a 2nd all my time you have a good finish. know what went well and what didn't

a francisco vote for her and her team, a critical evaluation of that performance is part of the job as a shop it's or to not. there's not a single scene from the game today where i say, wow, i'm a bit unsure punish system. still, it's important to look at the scenes again after the game to discuss them with the referee observer to analyze them. both may be a few running late, maybe the angle could have been different. we look at all that sounds done on these matters. early in the evening, the 3 of them set off for home, around 250 kilometers a driving lie ahead of them. in the n, francisco verify his day will have been around 10 hours long. refereeing is a time consuming hobby. very far as other life her every day working life takes place here. we that it's it is to the pits in conduct a 1000000000 of francisco betrayal. huffman m a like

a she works here is a self employed therapist several days a week. oh, a bit for i did a 3 year training for the job and passing the official exam at the end. ah, francisco very fire has started a family with you liana. they have a son called mux due to work and the refereeing hobby. it's hard to find time to spend together. that's why the 3 of them enjoy this stroll through the weekly market. it's become a little ritual for them formulated me, we're called my family supports me when i can relax with them. oh god. that's why i try to spend a lot of time with them and make them positive my weekends as well. because i'm really happy that i'm able to have a to eloquent and good, the common food fire trains for hobby 6 times a week for an hour or more as often as possible. her family is on the pitch with

the rain doesn't bother. after all, football is it laid in almost every kind of weather. physical fitness is the most important thing for referee. in addition to a thorough knowledge of the rules, of course, the referees have to be at the top of their game. only the best make it in the high divisions. francisco big fire wants to achieve that immense football as well as content to me fall off, as i said, is completely on the here, and now i want to referee gains well to be physically fit once. then we'll see what happens in the next few weeks, months or even years. yeah. one woman who made it all the way to germany's top tier is b. b a shine house. starting in 2017. she referees matches in the mens bundles legal for 3 years. bid for a much di house at a germany fe training since then the 2 has spoken often to each other,

including about ham or female referees could make their way into men's football. which i think it's very important that we and germany are prepared to develop female referees in the same way as male referees to get some help and opened up paths to create opportunities for them so that they can perform well on the pitch last questions. so i think the past has proven that whether someone can perform well as a referee on the football pitch is not a question of gender switch. switch to this after present, abilene con francisco very for his next match is approaching. this time it's in the women's blunder. steger involves berg. she's preparing thoroughly for it for days in advance. she looks of the tactical systems employed by both teams and studies. the teen lineups that let her draw conclusions about, among other things,

the roots, she'll need to run while refereeing the game. then it's time to put that theoretical program into practice. a thorough warm up is part of preparing for the game. not only for the teams, but also for the referees that run any giving you some valves, some movement sequences. and of course, also some athletic training so that you target different muscles on. and so it's not just running back and forth, but it has various exercises. the tight aid for she know who will and that is for a marker. the game is one sided voice berg. the many time german champions dominate. freshly promot cologne. there are plenty of tackles and foul and the killer penalty area as often a hub of activity beard fire has to pay attention. she likes to stay in direct contact with the place and talk to them. i let them know that bread

it's got going on by now to take it out with that much. um yeah, she bought the day off this beth? yes. be happy to called you cuz what is it, what was it me, i'm a good to and i'm for one to find on his on his can. okay. ah i see vincent going for the okay. i will try to yes, larissa. okay. yes. begin dr. now to write the whole process yet, so i would say it would be if i decide the absolute day,

this is young. yeah. with ah, i to gain when yell from plucking h i. when i decide something on the page, i have to stand by that decision. this is go, i think i was born i that i'll, but it's also a quality you can hone from game to game. design truffle mountain. you like every referee in the women's blindness, legal, francisco, iroquois makes 500 years a match in the men's league. it's 10 times that amount at every glimpse like a match, there's an official referee observer in the stadium. they closely scrutinized the performance of the referees, the diffusion wouldn't fuel, but if you got a lever, real grades, every one is graded, the referee and the assistance with a one is

a good, great way to die. i would give her a take what we have to get the evaluation sheet done within 2 days before it goes to by the german f i and the referee herself, and said that she knows what she did wrong or how good she was. what you watch a lot of gucci, vol, hunt. cisco verifier has now completed her 1st international assignment. it was at the women's on the 17 tournament in sweden. she hopes that morphy for assignments will soon follow it's blog. this is from ms posey. i think it's the positive pressure for me to be portrayed as a talent or is the successor to bibiana shine houses like soon, but it makes me more motivating, that i'll definitely try to put everything i've gotten to getting better and staying fit in better to be added on to plan, ah, she would also like to further her refereeing career and the men's leagues in the coming years. the buddhist legal could certainly do with women referees at francis
