Being lead your thoughts

[jcarter]

As i posted earlier last night was my first official games as a ref.

My question is, I felt very uncomfortable in the lead position. Even thought my much experienced partner said position wise I was always in the rite spot, I felt that i could not see everything that I should be seeing.

Is it just human nature and being new that i tend to focus more in the area of where the ball was instead of scanning over the area in which a lead should be covering? Even though I did catch myself doing this alot I still could not consitantly keep my eyes in my own area.

will this pass with more experience? what did you guys do to keep from wanting to follow the ball all the time?
