To be 23 again...Jeremy: Look to someone in your assocation who you have respect for and has proven track record in both being mechanically sound and respected...someone YOU would want to work with in a championship game. Then, ask for help; I cannot think of anyone who is officiating, for the right reasons, that would refuse to help another when asked. Get tapes of games you work and review them. Camps, camps, camps. If you are getting Junior Varsity assignments, stick around for the Varsity game, at least through half time; better yet ride with the varsity officials to the game. Be a sponge. Stick to signals which are in the book, practice them. Image-while not everything can be a huge asset- look professional- you know what kind of grief slobs can get. Believe in yourself; while 'power' is not what you're looking for, control is. Good luck to you.
