Yup, adjusting from level to level is very difficult, and my instincts are slow to learn. That's exactly where I'm at, so to speak. Sitting with the evals before your own games will help you, and I"ve been trying to do that, too. The other thing I tried this weekend, and I think it helped is that I said, "Okay, I'm gonna go to the extreme of calling too little, instead of too much" I'm thinking pendulum here. Clinicians said we did a great job of not getting pissy in that championship game and another that I did at the same level. SO maybe I'm starting to get the hang of it. Now I go back to 5th grade tomorrow. I already feel like I'm getting whiplash.
