Two things I've learned from:
1. As a JV official, I had my brother come to videotape me work. Before the game, I spotted the varsity official and asked him to sit next to the camera and make comments as I went. It was incredibly educational, watching that tape.
2. At camp this summer, we worked a couple of games wearing receptionists' headphones (the kind that cover one ear). As we worked, we were getting messages from our evaluator on the sideline. Once we got over the weirdness, it was really, really useful.
The second won't happen outside of camp, but if you find someone to watch your game and comment on the tape in real time, it can really, really help.
