As you keep working, you'll be evaluated in a number of different styles. This particular person seems to dwell on the negative. I remember a 3 person clinic I was working a few years ago. At one end was an assignor I don't work for ripping me a new one about all the contact I was letting go away from the ball, which to me was stuff we let go all season. At the other end was an evaluator from my area that had seen me before. He's over there telling me I look great and just keep doing what I'm doing. There isn't really one correct way to officiate. There are many things we all need to do on a consistent basis, but parts of the game are going to be different for each official because of their experience and personality. Take any information you get and use it to make yourself better. One thing that has helped me over the years is when an evaluator gives you a bit of information, put it into your game right away. When you're getting feedback every quarter, make sure you do exactly what they asked you to as soon as you see a similar play in the next quarter. This shows that you're willing to listen and learn.
