be a sponge....listen to the clinicians as much as possible, even when you are not working the game they are evaluating...ask questions, NEVER give excuses about why you did something or try to justify the reason you did something..... NEVER argue with clinicians... Meet new people, network as much as possible. You never know when someone might be able to help you down the roadsmile and nod your head yes...even if you disagree with what the the clinicians say. never be late to your floor assignment or classroom session. Try to go into each session working on one or two specific things. HUSTLE, HUSTLE AND HUSTLE!!!! Be observant, watch others officials when they work. Learn from their mistakes...learn from the positive things they do. Keep a daily journal about your experiences...what was positive and what was negative. What are you going to try and work on each session, each game. Network with people, be approachable, meet as many new people as possible, you never know who may be able to help you down the road. Have a written resume available to the camp coordinator and possibly the clinicians...it will be an impressive way to be remembered!!

And after all of that, don't forget to breathe
