I size officials up by what I first see. If they look sloppy in their uniform or do not look like they are in shape, they probably are not an official that is a very good official. Usually I am proved correct. I feel like if you pay attention to detail in the way you look you will do the same thing as it relates to rules, mechanics or the way you carry yourself while officiating.

I worked about 3 or 4 varsity games my first year. Mostly filling in and a couple games were 3 Person games where the AD did not mind adding another official.

I think if you look the part, have very good signal mechanics and willing to learn from officials that know more than you, that should set you in the right direction.
