Due to work schedules, family commitments, and other conflicts and limitations that are every day life, many umpires simply cannot aspire to advancement.

Some umpires, due to deficiencies in one area or another, shouldn't aspire to advancement.

While still other umpires need to aspire to advancement to fulfill something inside.

Perhaps a better way of looking at it is not all umpires can aspire to advance, but every umpire should aspire to improve.

It is possible to remain a varsity umpire, never working a single NCAA game, and still improve week after week, season after season.

If one doesn't get better, he will get worse. There is no status quo in the real world.
