Odds are you'll be working with a more senior umpire. Let him call the balks if you aren't sure. Focus on the basics - safes and outs, balls and strikes. Think timing, timing, timing. Let the plays happen and let the plays convince you of their outcome. Give your brain time to process what you just saw. Then you'll make your calls with confidence.
Oh, and have fun!
