Advice from what shirt/pants/shoes do you prefer to wear?, game time advice,........ anything would help.

Slow down. Take your time. See the play before you make a call. If you think
"it's too late now," usually it isn't. Everyone in the building will bombard you with calls. When you hear one of these, it may cause you to momentarily freeze, but this pause is not as long as it will seem at the time. Go ahead and make
your call, whether it is the same or opposite of what you heard.
