For many young officials, especially those with good speed, you want to keep up or stay ahead of the play. The worst position to call any play is moving downfield looking over your shoulder.
When you read sweep, just relax and back up on the sideline about three to five yards and let the play go. Open yourself up to the play by trailing five to ten yards behind. The view is great you see the linemen leading, the runner following, the defenders trying to stop the play. Once the runner is tackled close on the spot and watch any action around the runner.
One other thing I have trouble with a lot of new officials. Don't get overly concerned with the spot and turn in toward the field if there are players lying on the ground OOB.
