Hate how you run why? Nothing really wrong with your overall look. Like a lot of new officials awkwardness comes off as looking like you don't want to be there. That'll naturally change and come with time/confidence. I guess while you're running you can make your arms look more athletic, but I'm still not seeing why you'd say you hate it.

My second year officiating someone told me to get ripped. I changed my diet completely and started working out -- a lot. There's good assigners here that say they don't care much about an officials look, but from my experience most assigners do whether they will admit to it or not. My third year I was told I'd break the varsity scene and possibly get a 3A game. I ended up doing 4A and getting post season assignments.

Plenty will disagree, but I'm now biased to believe that getting ripped has a large impact on your schedule. Not to mention all the other positive side effects from working out/not eating crap(Basically everything ).
