How to Fake it.

Fake it as in act like you know what you are doing. Even if you aren't sure of what it is you are suppose to be doing, do something and act as if it is what is suppose to be done.

Some of the things you can do to fake it:
1. Blow the whistle with authority. No weak whistles.
2. Give good crisp signals as if you really know which direction the ball went out of bounds.
3. Come in strong when signaling a foul. Give the proper signals and then move to you reporting area and report the foul.
4. Be approachible but authoritative when talking to coaches. "You may be right coach, but this is what I saw and this is what we are going with."
5. Officiate the dead balls.
6. Look professional at all times. Good posture, good dress, Good positioning, the appearance of being focused on the game.

You may have others but this is what I can think of at this hour of the morning.
