Send us a textEver wondered what it takes to officiate at the collegiate level? John Collins, the National Coordinator of Men's and Women's Soccer Officials for the NCAA, pulls back the curtain on a world that represents both challenge and opportunity for advancing referees.With college soccer now boasting the largest officiating pool in NCAA sports—over 5,380 registered officials—Collins reveals the pathways to breaking into this level. "If you're working at the top youth level and at the amateur level, NCAA soccer is probably a fit for you," he explains, detailing how referees typically move from high-level youth matches to college assignments through networking and regional organizations. The conversation delves into how college soccer strategically positions itself between top amateur competitions and professional matches, creating a unique environment where officials can develop and thrive.Collins, who balances his NCAA leadership role with a career in finance, brings perspectives from his own journey as both collegiate goalkeeper and national referee. His insights on evaluation criteria are particularly valuable: "We're looking for critical, skillful thinkers that can manage games, apply the laws, manage participants, and they've got to be good athletes." This emphasis on critical thinking challenges the simplistic "keep it simple" mantra that many referees learn at grassroots levels.The discussion also addresses the evolving relationship between NCAA and IFAB rules, referee shortage challenges, and the critical importance of experiential learning and community-building for referee development. Whether you're considering collegiate officiating or simply interested in understanding the referee pathway better, Collins offers wisdom applicable to officials at every level, including his personal philosophy: "Plan for the unexpected."Ready to explore collegiate officiating opportunities?

We dive into the chilling case of Matthew Hertgen, a former college soccer star who allegedly murdered his younger brother Joseph Hertgen and the family cat in a luxurious apartment in Princeton, New Jersey. Raised in an affluent family with a multi-millionaire tech mogul father, both brothers were star athletes with seemingly bright futures. Yet, tragedy struck when Matthew allegedly used a knife and golf club in a brutal assault, calling 911 himself to report a fire and a dead body at the scene. What could drive such violence within a privileged family? Was there an underlying issue, or did something push Matthew to the edge? We explore the psychological, social, and familial dynamics at play with #BestGuests, including criminal psychologists and legal experts. Join us as we seek answers to this tragic mystery.
