Set goals now and modify them yearly, monthly or after every game if need be. Because no matter what you do in officiating, you must approach the game in a certain way or you might just be lost. Always have some kind of goal for every game (number of T's, game management, hustle) and try to set that goal if you can. If you do not achieve that goal, it is not the end of the world, you might just need to change something. But this is the foundation for your success, because if you want to do college games, your goals and approach might be totally different than if you just want to do rec. league games. But since this is very personal, only you can realize what you want to accomplish, certainly not anyone else can decide for you.
