Here is some advice given to me at a camp a few years ago, it's served me well: "Watch Chuck. Whatever he does, do the opposite."



Serious answer: learn the rules.

2. Would a clinic be of use and where do I find a good one in my area (Southeast Mich.)?

3. What are common mistakes new officials tend to make and how do I avoid them?

Thank you in advance.
It's never too early to attend a good teaching camp. Maybe the biggest mistake made by rookies is they think they need more experience before they start going to teaching camps.
