You are a changed person. From now on when you go to games or watch on TV you will be watching the officials. Watch as many as you can and then watch some more. Check out videos such as those on the NFHS website. Talk to officials and ask them to watch you and give pointers. Is there someone in your local association that can help you? Ask if you can go with varsity officials to a game and sit in on the pre-game, half-time and post-game discussions. Check out the signals that are used by experienced officials. Signals are a key component to selling your calls and looking professional. Absorb as much as you can. Have fun with officiating. It's a great hobby.
