About the Experience

I serve as a licensed referee for the Czech Floorball Association. While not a technical IT role, this experience has provided me with a vital foundation in soft skills that are indispensable for effective teamwork and client communication.

Key Takeaways from this Role:

  • Decision-making Under Pressure: On the court, I must make split-second, definitive decisions, often in high-stakes or emotionally charged situations.
  • Accountability: I have learned to stand confidently behind my decisions and take full responsibility for their outcomes.
  • Clear & Calm Communication: I must explain my rulings clearly and professionally to players, coaches, and spectators, requiring significant patience and assertiveness.

Serving as a referee has been exceptional training in mental resilience, teaching me how to maintain a cool head and perform effectively when the pressure is at its peak.
