National FIFA referee Gladwyn Johnson on Wednesday, wrapped up a three-day training programme for CONCACAF 2018 elite referees in Costa Rica.
The programme, which began on February 25, 2018, was aimed at the continued development
of the elite referees, both male and female. Johnson’s participation was part of the “Targeted
Gladwyn Johnson
Advanced Referee Programme” (TARP).
In an invited comment, Johnson, who successfully completed the fitness test as part of the
programme, said he was eager to share the knowledge acquired with the other national referees:
“I will continue to work, do well at the fitness test, and perform all classroom tests as well as
training on the field. As I strive for excellence to officiate at the highest level (World Cup), I will
pay attention to all details so that I can get better than I am. When I return home, I will share the
knowledge I gain with my fellow referees so that everyone can be at their best.”
Johnson also expressed gratitude to the Creator for having the opportunity of being among the 31
top referees who participated in the CONCACAF programme, which included 19 Elite referees
and 12 targeted referees.
Among the key areas focused on were the physical fitness testing, practical and technical training
and classroom and field sessions, including video tests.
