Don't sweat it, even veterans have bad days. That bad feeling goes away by the next game you do. Try to learn from your mistakes. Concentrate on practicing something that you have learned at every game. Buy some good books on umpire mechanics and rules interpretations. Seek out good umpires to work with and to discuss game issues. Read the forums, this one, ABUA and Umpire Empire. Have a thick skin when you hear negative feedback. All of those bad habits will eventually shake themselves out and you will become a good umpire. Every umpire has been there and done that. Stick with it.
