Don't let your first varsity game hit you like a train.

In my first one, I was really intimidated by the coach on my sideline. I was so nervous about screwing up that I let myself get bullied a little bit, when all along I probably (*cough* definitely) knew the rules better than he did.

Remember that you control the game, and that you'll have to assert your authority strongly and consistently. When you step on the field, remind yourself that you're now in charge, and everyone has to answer to you, not the other way around.
