If you ref long enough, you'll eventually and even occasionally have games where you just feel lousy afterward--whether from a particular "kicked" call or just a sloppy game in which you never felt in sync. In my experience, and in talking with other veteran officials who were lamenting a lousy game and wondering if they are really that bad, the feeling lasts pretty much until the next game. Then, assuming you get back into the groove and have a decent game, you'll feel the confidence come back and say, "Yea, OK, I can do this game." Just hang in there and the sick feeling inside will soon go away.
