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.
Thanks for the advice. The thing is though like I said, sometimes that partner is a 30-40 year old, and not sure it would go over to well for them to hear that from another rookie who is 18
