How do you make it look professional?

1. Get in position! That is the biggest reason these calls are missed.

2. Pay attention to the play!

3. If in doubt, go for help before you make the call! Doing this results in one play - one call! The coaches will respect this more than making two calls for one play.

4. See the play, see it again in your head, make the call. No one is rushing you and it is nothing until you call it!
