In addition to the great comments, I would add.
Be open to constructive criticism, ask your more experienced partners for tips every game.
Ask a fellow official to watch your game or even better have someone tape your game. It will open your eyes to several things
As far as the mechanics, you can even practice in the office restroom mirror, although someone may think you are missing a couple of marbles.
Have fun on the court, for the vast majority officiating is a hobby and not a career.
Don't be afraid to ask for help. Your local association likely has several members who would be glad to mentor a new official.
