According to the Bureau of Labour and Statistics employment of umpires, referees, and other sports officials is projected to grow 32 percent from 2021 to 2031, much faster than the average for all occupations.
About 3,600 openings for umpires, referees, and other sports officials are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.
Nathan Sherratt is an active football referee with an off the field story which “I use to inspire and improve the lives of referees of all ages and levels. I am the Managing Director of The Third Team where I support referees by making them aware about all things related to resilience and mental toughness to enhance their performance and improve their mental health. In addition, I work with schools, colleges and universities communicating similar messages through the vehicle of refereeing.
I’m also a Mental Health Ambassador, Autism charity trustee and Speaker.” He joined me this week to tell me more.
