What should I work at next season?

[Hartsy]

Going into my third year officiating, I hope to keep improving at the same pace as I have the last two seasons. Surely I still have a lot to work on.

Year one I concentrated on getting comfortable on the court; being in the right position, looking in the right places, making the obvious calls, etc.

Year two my focus was on game awareness/management; being aware of how the game was flowing, anticipating calls for time out, preventing rough play, and that sort of thing.

Additionally, each season I worked hard to be decisive and make strong calls and signals.

All in all, I think I have had a great start.

What I hope to hear from the group are ideas on what may be a good focus for me this coming season, and how to approach it. Many of you are quality veterans who may work with us newbies, and I'd like to know what things you often see as weak spots in the inexperienced along with ways to improve.

Advice from other newbies encouraged, too. Let me know what things you have found difficult and what advice you have received to overcome that.

Thanks in advance.
