If these fellows cannot learn to blow a whistle correctly or loud enough, I believe I would be looking for new trainees to replace them. The phrase of the day, "Cull them out."

Wow... For a new guy, you sound like most vets in my organization... Unwilling to help out the new guys...
It's probably just a confidence thing... Of course, in the long run, you're probably better off with some guys who are somewhat unsure of themselves instead of some rookies who are completely overconfident for no good reason... The new guys will develop confidence, but the cocky ones aren't likely to come back to earth...
I would say any kind of practice would be good... Officiating practice, whistle practice, film study, whatever... If they know they've put in some good work, they'll be more confident...
