I would say work more games which will raise your confidence and then you can relax. This used to be my problem, or an excuse to hold me back. Now I'm accused of being so smooth sometimes and told to be louder.
What is so funny? Yes, coaches want to ask us questions but I don't think they want to see officials smailing all of the time. I'm the first one to smile or laugh but most of the time duringa game, they are serious about winning. I don't think they want to see us look like we aren't serious.
Instead of smiling or laughing, I would suggest you just try to get across the point that you are still a human being even though you have on stripes. I think you emotions should be a roller coaster - sometimes nice, sometimes mean, and always fitting the situation.
