I 100% agree with a mentor but more importantly, read all you can about situations that happen to other people. I don't know how many times something has popped up during a game that I was able to nail because of something I've read in Referee Magazine, online forums, or had discussed with my mentors. I've out-thought veterans in the heat of the moment because of my thirst for knowledge. Learning the letter and intent of the rules is also key.
