I've worked with rookies twice this year and I try to come up with 2-3 things they did well to praise them on (to help them develop good habits) and 2-3 things for them to work on (so they can get better). That way, they receive meaningful feedback without being overwhelmed. I appreciated the officials who put up with me as a rookie, so I try to show the same patience and support when I work with rookies.
Finally, welcome to the world of officiating.
