use your height to your advantage, i'm 6'6" and have had to break a habit of leaning to get an angle. the right thing to do is take a step one way or another, but ref tall.
watch other officials. recognize the things they do right and imitate, also recognize the things you want to make sure not to do.
others have already said to practice at home in front of a mirror, plus when you work lower level games, have an item(mechanic) or 2 that you want to focus on that day, get it down and you'll be suprised how quickly it will become habit. keep reminding yourself what you're working on and you can master it real quick. hopefully the next time out, you can tackle another one.
remember that you're doing this because you love the game, coaches are just a necessary evil, and fans can be worse. enjoy their comedy factor.
comment to coach; "i'll work harder"
