The clinicians said they were knit-picking, but that is why we go to camp -- to polish our game. The recommendation -- and I worked on it at camp -- is to stand more upright (with better posture) through those particular calls.
Similar to how it's been put forth to me. I'm 6' 5". Whenever I've heard that I'm not referee'ing big it's when I have bad posture or my signals are weak and/or presented too low.
