First of all, don't be to fast. The runners are coming fast. The ball is being thrown fast, but no reason for you to rush. You must stay back and wait.

The way I was taught is you want everyone to see you make the call. If you make the call to quick, then no one sees because they are watching the action.

So act like there is a camera. Just like in the bigs, the camera cuts to the umpire after the play, then you see him make the call. Wait until after the action is over, you know the camera is shining on you, then make the call. This will help you have the call sink in before making it also.
