I think my first game I missed maybe 4 CIs. Not kidding. Total deer in headlights.
What has helped me over the course of my still young career:
1) Try to emulate those one or two steps above the level you are working now. Then, when you get there, repeat.
2) Relax and use good timing. Be set for plays. Before calling an out, always look for firm and secure possession. This applies to catches, force plays, tag plays, anything.
3) Any time you have a rule situation in a game, or one that could have happened, go to your rulebook that night. You should be reading and researching at least 3 rules after a game. If you can't think of one, let your mind play the "what if" game. Overtime your "what ifs" will turn into 3rd world plays, I figured out one the other night myself.
4) Understand its a never ending process.
