I have been officiating basketball for 10 years now and there are still certain plays that I kicked that still "haunt" me. I think about what I would do differently to handle the situation better if and when it should present itself again. It would be easy to say "Don't let those plays eat you up," but they will, just try to learn from them.

Things will get better. Keep working at it. Listen to and watch veteran officials. Build on your strengths and work on your weaknesses. I have found that if the more experienced officials know you are willing to listen and learn, they are more than willing to work with you. Don't burn those bridges.

Your lower level games can be tougher games to work as the kids are still learning to play and have as much to learn as you do.
