Psychology - Dr Mikel Melick

[Chunky Charvis]

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some of Dr Mikel Melick's papers on the pyschology of refereeing?

I have read the excellent one on communication and decision making (a few years old it seems, which focusses on body language, whistle and verbal communication after a decision) and would like to read more from him. Not as easy to find his research papers as I thought...

I seem to remember some on here speaking about him a few weeks/months ago saying they had some of his stuff? Can anyone help?

Cheers,

CC

I got him to come and speak at a Warwickshire training meeting.
I can pm you his email adress if you would like to ask him?
Maybe invite him to Bucks.

Blue sure knows his stuff, one of lifes good guys. If you e-mail him I'm sure he would send you his complete works..

Do a google search on Google scholar - for Mikel Mellick, comes up with a pdf which is probably the one you've seen, and others that siut behind a paywall - or university type access - or journal subscription.

Hi,
Like Womble says if you email the guy - Contact details. At worst he will tell you where to buy them, but may well simply send you what you need.

Also, check out this collaborative paper :Identifying Best Practice for Referee Decision Communication

Not enough pictures. Not even a pie chart!

He has done a couple of great presentations at SW Group Meetings. As Womble says one of life's really nice and genuine guys.

Alongside Steve Savage he runs the RFU Panel/Group Referees after the RFU re-organisation.

A good book he recommended to me is 'Understanding Psychological Preparation for Sport: Theory and Practice of Elite Performers[Paperback] Hardy et al...

I have read a lot of his material - so we will see if you have, or need to, on the 24th at Basingstoke :biggrin:

Mikel and Steve did a fantastic presentation at a Warwickshire Society meeting on 'Referee Protection', which gave us all a lot to think about. As others have said, a thoroughly nice chap.

If you get the chance I would highly recommend reading:

http://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Fast-Slow-Daniel-Kahneman/dp/0374275637

The description of type 1 and 2 thinking is worth the price of the book alone and the application to your reffing methods should be pretty straight forward.

Are they related to the concepts of the "open mode" and "closed mode" of thinking that John Cleese outlines in this lecture about creativity, by any chance?

Not really but I hadn't seen that presentation before.

Had some credit on Amazon, so have downloaded this to my kindle. Certainly sounds interesting from the write up.

It builds as a book as it goes along so if you find one section a bit dry just remember that it's setting the stage for the next introduction to a topic. The comparison of shifting type 1 to type 2 thinking is fascinating.
