As for mentoring, try to hook up with a crew. Go with them to the games on Friday. I doubt any crew would not want to have you along. Absorb all you can from the pre-game, half-time and post-game. Walk the sideline with the wings and ask questions. Observe one position at a time and how they move on various plays. Talk to them about what their "keys" are before each play. I found that the toughest thing to do is figure out what to look at when there are 22 players moving at the same time. When you know your keys and what to look for, it becomes a whole lot easier to focus. Get a copy of their pre-game sheet and go over it before you get to the game site.
