I've found:
- Work hard on ASA mechanics and rules and work on it every game. Live and breath this sport.
- Work hard on your game management skills - its not enough to know the rules but not how to enforce them or control a game without acting like a small country tyrant or an OOO smitty.
- Truely listen when one of your evaluators/mentors/instructors is teaching something. Do not take it personnal, take it professional. Listen when others are getting evaluated
- Get proficient and give back to your organization
- Kiss the booty
