New college ref advice

[Sharpshooternes]

Hey guys, I have been fortunate enough to get hired by a small JUCO conference and am very excited about it. I am rather new, (Completed four seasons of freshmen to JV ball) all two man and have never worked a varsity game in season. I have attended two camps every year for the last three years. I realize that I am pretty inexperienced, but thanks to you guys my rules knowledge is great, thanks to YouTube and videos posted here I think my call selection and play calling is decent as well.

My questions to the forum are:
What are some of the pitfalls of starting college so early and what are strategies to overcome them.

I had a friend suggest that it may be possible that my future HS schedule will be penalized because of me working college. Any thoughts to the veracity of this?

Suggestions on how to make a good transition or to lessen the learning curve.

Thanks, everyone, I owe a lot of my success to the people on this forum.
