RefCoach is a platform democratising elite football refereeing coaching.
It was born from the need of better coaching reaching thousand referees worldwide.
We ran several online workshops. We had attendees from Australia, USA, South America, Europe and the Middle East.
We partnered with the Referee Association in England to deliver our Referee Mindset Workshop as part of the ‘2021 Referees’ Association Development Weekend’, presenting to over 10,000 English referees on Zoom.
We created a strong online presence by tapping into existing referee social profiles and creating strategic partnerships to reach a wider auience.
We promoted our profiles and engaged with our members daily, providing educational clips, articles and online workshops.
We partnered with a top S&C coach from the MLS to provide fitness tips and programs to our members and further our reach and product portfolio.
Our Podcast My Life On The Line reached thousands of referees weekly. Diamantina Podcasts, part of the Nova network, signed us as part of their network to help us grow our audience.
In our two years in operations, we helped improving over 15,000 match officials worldwide.
We connected referees to other referees and coaches, helping them learn the Laws of The Game and develop soft skills key to perform at their best.
To this day, it is quite common for members of our community to reach out asking for help, coaching or simply to remind us how much we helped them.
We partnered throughout our tenure with high caliber individuals, such as Howard Webb, Christina Unkel, Tori Penso, John Westbrooks, Adriano Del Monte and more.
Each of our guests and partners helped us grow our audience and bringing to life our purpose to democratise referee coaching and education.

For a long time, I have been looking at ways of giving back to the referee community and help young referees develop and enjoy their journey as much as I did.
