The assessment was completed, nothing too terrible. Game was not really too complicated. One yellow card only and the takeaways are to get out of passing lanes (where have I heard that before, yeah, in other assessments) and to watch for contact above the shoulders.
That last one was the main negative that I got dinged on (as well as my lack of applying consistency with regards to handling). The episode in particular was a short player going up against a larger player for a header. The taller player swung out his arms for balance and made more than incidental contact with the shorter player's face. I didn't perceive it at the time and therefore let play continue but the shorter player evidently took a stronger blow than I thought he had taken and was down. I check on him, he continued playing and then made a reckless foul that earned him the only yellow card of the match. What the assessor told me was that had I called the contact to the face, then probably I wouldn't have had to deal with the yellow card. And he is probably right. So passing lanes, contact above the shoulder and consistency with handling are the three areas that I need to work on.
My next assessment is in about a month and if all goes well, I will be done for 2017.

i just finished my second assessment in this condensed requirement period. my assessor used the phrase "insisting vs assisting" to describe how one of my ARs forced my hand 4 times during the match with foul calls. i've not heard it described as such before and for me it was pretty powerful and i will incorporate into my pregame. i've never been fond of the outdated "let me have first crack at fouls", but using the assisting vs insisting will be for me a new way to have that team discussion for operating the match synergistically.
