Any websites or magazines? Just please explain how all of you got where you are today and how you gained the confidence to become the best referee possible. I am only 16 so I have a lot of time for improvement but as you might guess the crowd is a little bit harder on me because when you see a kid (same could apply for women) on the court if you are not perfect the crowd hates you (even when you make a good call). Thanks for the help.
Find someone who you KNOW is good and ask them to give you some feedback after watching your game. Pick something each game to work on and focus on it. You will get better, it takes time and plenty of patience. Keep at it.
