The two things you can always have right off the bat is a strong whistle and voice.

Signals come thru practice, it sounds crazy, but spend a few minutes every day in front of the mirror. Go through every violation...dead ball signal and violation signal. Go through each foul, again with dead ball signal, then report each foul to your mirror/table.

On the court don't think about everything you have to do, just see it and react.

Also don't bring a laundry list out, pick one or two things each game to work on.

Share what you are having trouble getting a handle on with your partners and evaluators, so you can better gauge your improvement.

Watch other, more experienced officials work.

Try not to get frustrated, be realistic in your goals and expectations, and all should work out well.

Good luck.
