New referee experiences...

[MatthewPV]

Forum,

I am a first year official, and this forum has provided me with great information that I have already used. Thanks to all those that participate!

As I said, I am a first year official, and after games (especially ones where I feel my performance was sub-par), I constantly replay mistakes, calls, non calls, outcomes, coaches comments, fan comments, and other things over and over again. I have been told that this is "common" for new officials, and it will get better over time. Is this generally the case?

I strive to be a perfect referee, but I know that is nearly impossible as mistakes will happen. I guess wish I could leave the game on the court, and not carry it around with me. Any suggestions or insight? Thanks...
