If you are brand new, here is what I would say. Work hard being the best official you can be at the level you work. Don't get in too much of a hurry to climb the chain. Go to camp, listen, don't say, "yes, but". Stay in shape, wear the uniform well. Treat everyone you run across with respect. Work on being a good partner. Find a good mentor, hopefully someone who has made it to the level you want to make. I would also say that early on, it isn't as much of a big deal to make a decision on men's and women's. Learn about both before you make a decision. Personally, I was all gung ho about the men's side in my early years, but I've changed my perspective and am extremely happy working women's. It just suits me more as an official. There's my $.02.
