I'm a new ref also
First year. I also get advice from my senior officials about a number of things (and during the game, too). It is part of our learning curve. Don't let it get you down. As was mentioned earlier, get from it what you can, discard what you already know, and always be a good listener. It's better that they offer us advice than just let us twist in the breeze as we make mistakes. And, there is nothing wrong with offering "why" you made the call you did. Don't make it argumentative, but, keep it more like a thoughtful Q & A. Most senior officials are truly trying to help.
