I have been a slow pitch and fast pitch player. I have umpired both slow pitch and fast pitch sometimes up to the highest educational level. I have organized &/or coached both young teams and old man teams. I am a true believer that having been involved as a player and coach it makes me a better umpire.

Funny, most good umpires believe just the opposite, that being an umpire would make you a better coach and player.

I have never seen a player or coach who did not learn more about the game through attending umpire schools and clinics.
