[crazy voyager]

I am a teenage ref (15 now, was 13(!) when I called my first game)

I have played the game scince I was 10 and when I got the chance to become a ref I signed up and started holding the whistle in our practises. My coach didn't mind if I blew the whistle insted of sitting on the bench as a sub so I started my first training there. Then I went throught the training and got myself a rulebook. I am a reader (I've read extremly fast and started reading books for adults around the age of 9) and I read my rulebook, I read it firstly cover to cover, then I went throught the most importent parts over and over again (fouls, violations and so on). I just tried to assimilate all the things in it, and it worked pretty well for me.
