Section 1: Personal profile

My Skills (work/home/school) My Abilities

- Knowledge of how to use a cash and
EFTPOS register has come from my time
working at Shelley Fish and Chips.
- Customer service skills and dealing with
difficult people has been a skill I have
been required to have both for umpiring
and my time working at Shelley Fish and
Chips.
- My ability to bounce the football is a
fundamental part of my job as an
umpire.
- I have excellent communication skills
that I rely on regularly in game situation,
where I am required to deal with both
difficult players and officials.
- I have the ability when motivated to
adapt and learn fast, this has been
shown through my dedication and
application to my training and games for
umpiring.
- I have the ability to take control and
lead a situation if the situation arises.
Once again through my umpiring this
has been shown, through game day
scenarios where I have been required to
take control and lead the rest of the
umpires.
- My fitness level would classify as one of
my better abilities, being in a
development squad for umpiring, I have
accumulated a good fitness level
through training.
