Treat every call individually. Look at the positive things. Work on the misses or things you did not do so well. Be honest with yourself.

Usually missed calls are because of lack of hustle, not in good position and not anticipating the play (not the call).

The way you make sure you eliminate these situations, is to go to camps, in the summer work as much as possible without burning yourself out and during the season watching as much basketball officials as you can.

This is not an overnight thing, but if you work at it you will get better.

Peace
