Thank you for making Preventive Officiating the second most popular soccer ref book in the U.S. and Canada, after only the Laws of the Game. 85% of the reviews of Preventive Officiating on book websites are five stars, the highest rating.

The purpose of preventive medicine is to avoid health problems before they begin.

Generally, people who eat a balanced diet, watch their weight, exercise, sleep well, keep a positive mental attitude and do not smoke are much healthier than those who do the opposite. It is much less costly, both financially and emotionally, to prevent health problems than to cure them.

Preventive Officiating will help with many of the challenges facing a referee and assistant referees before problems begin. If you are learning how to become a soccer referee, have years of experience or are a soccer player, coach or fan learning the rules and how they are applied, Preventive Officiating is for you!

This book could also provide a greater understanding of the game to help prevent players from becoming injured in some cases. Because, just as in medicine, it’s much easier to prevent problems than it is to search for a cure.
