Which aspect of your game would you say has improved most since becoming a full-time referee?

I have noticed an all-round improvement of my refereeing technique since my progression to a full time referee. Confidence, awareness, man-management skills, communication and fitness levels have all benefited over the last 12 months. Working and rubbing shoulders with top class referees week in, week out has helped me to develop my skill sets and enabled me to continue in my own personal development.
