Description
Trailblazing referee Tori Penso joins the Soccer Girl Podcast to discuss her journey from officiating youth games to making history on the world stage. She opens up about being chased off thefield by angry parents as a young referee, the advice that convinced her not to quit, and the confidence required to make split-second decisions under enormous pressure.
Tori also takes us behind the whistle to explain how stoppage time is calculated, why handball and offside decisions are so misunderstood, what referees actually think about VAR and ref cams, and why players, coaches, and parents need to show officials more respect.
Whether you’re a player, coach, parent, referee, or fan, this conversation will change how you watch the game.
