Good luck implementing the various suggestions. Let us know how things work for you.
Professional baseball umpires receive the same training. The instructors use the analogy of a camera: what kind of image will you have if your camera is moving when you take the shot? Keep your head still when you need to make a call (ball handling, tip/no tip, in/out, etc.).
