I am Certified in a sport.

You talked about credibility. If I lacked credibility then I would not be considered in any sport. I never said what sport or how that might happen. I just stated that I am on "hold" to become an IHSA Clinician in a particular sport. I have only applied for that one sport. You cannot be a clinician in one sport and apply it to another sport unless you apply. There are a few dual sport clinicians, but they had to apply in each separately. I only said that because I had a Rule Interpreter last night and a President of an Association requests that I become a clinician for their group. I guess I really lack the respect of my peers as you suggest.

And I might never be. Not sure I will ever make myself available to do so. I almost had to not make myself available for the Regional I worked because of some other commitments. Like I have told you in the past, working far in the State Playoffs in Baseball is not really a major goal. Maybe one day, but at this time it is not the focus of my officiating career. I was too happy for my season to end to be overly excited to continue that much further.

Windy, I would hope that I would work much further in the playoffs in my other sports than baseball. If I ever get that far in baseball it would be icing on the cake. But it sure would not be the main ingredient to what I feel is success. Not everyone looks at the Majors and a goal. Maybe it is your goal, but I have never had that as a possibility or something I would want to pursue.
Peace
