I remember my first game. I was so damn nervous wondering if I was in the right spot and trying to watch the action in my area. Like a trillion things going through my head. I know I sucked, but luckly for me I had a great friend and mentor who has helped me my whole officiating career as a partner.
There's no doubt, he has made me a better official and helped me so much.
Without a mentor, I personally think a new official is down sh*t creek without a paddle, JMO.
You'll get better just as along as you're willing to put in the effort and listen to others.
Be sure to pick something out before you hit the floor that you want to work on. You'll be fine... best of luck!
