Go slower. Try to make your call, signals and reporting in what seems to you as slow motion. Everyone goes too fast when they are new.

Self-talk.

Example: [Pretend that you're the lead.] Say to yourself, "the ball is out top... I've got off-ball in the key."

Self-talk can do awesome things, including preventing bad habits when you're starting out, and aim to form proper habits as you develop.

Those are some really good suggestions and thank you. I think I will practice the signals and reporting and maybe have someone observe me to make sure I don't rush through it. Of course, I will have to keep that in the back of my mind while on the court too. I am going to watch a couple games tonight, so that should help me out too.

And, if you know a senior official whose opinion you respect who can watch you and provide feedback that can be a big helper.

PS - Don't forget to have fun!

I will be watched and get some verbal and written feedback, which I am looking forward to. I am hoping once I get out there and get calmed down a bit things will go well.
