[Sleeper]

I am a second year guy, but I am on my second full season of varsity (nine games last year, half way through 11 this year). Here are the things that have saved my rear end thus far in my short career (in order of importance):

-Walk onto the field with confidence. Act like you belong there, not like a new official.
-The game is going to be faster and, in most cases, cleaner than what you are used to seeing.
-Be strong on your whistle and sell the calls.
-Don't ever show weakness to a coach, it is like blood in the water with sharks.
-Stay away from K-Mart calls. Remember advantage/disadvantage and stay away from the cheap stuff
-OPI/DPI are big calls for the wings and BJ and are ALWAYS going to cause contraversy. Know the rules and how to enforce.
-Have fun and stay loose. Remember, pressure is a privledge and you have earned the right to be on that field.

Let us know how it goes.
