When I was 8-9 years old my grand father worked with me backing a wagon in the wheat fields while waiting for the next combine dump. His advise was to think of the drawbar pin as your hand on your toy wagon. You move the pin the same as you would your hand backing up the toy one. Over steering is most peoples biggest problem.
I entered the backing contests in grade and high school. Had to back a hay rack wagon, a two wheeled trailer, a horse drawn type side delivery rake and belt up to something.
