I agree totally with Aggy. I will add that it is important to decompress after a game. Thats why god made crews and friends and "adult beverage establishments" close to game sites. In addition, if you are concerned about the number of games you are doing, schedule a day off. You need a little time just to do something else. If for no other reason than to stay sane. The other thing is talking about your experiences with veteran officials or crew members. In all my pregames, I start off by asking if there is anything that anyone wants to get off their minds. That little time I spend with the crew to "clear the air" can often times be the difference between an official keeping a clear head on the sidelines....or going off the deep end on a coach or player.
So hang in there. Remember---take one game at a time. Deal with the game. Deal with the Post Game and then let it go. Learning from mistakes and occurrences does not mean thinking about it for a long time.
