nerves

[Indianaref]

I kinda know what you are going through. I don't get as nervous anymore, I get more excited and anxious. When I used to get nervous, I felt as if something might pop up during a game that I might not have seen before and screw things up...may not react correctly. Also, when I worked with a more experience official(s), I wanted things to be perfect, which I later realized is impossible. That's why I think I spent a lot of time watching video, found a great mentor, worked a lot of games (AAU also), practiced my mechanics, had nose in rule book, watch lots of varsity games and not least of which is this forum. All of these helped me feel more confident and relaxed during a ball game.
