I have been an A ever since I first learned about the site. may just be when it started.

I have been a Childress believer, (not Guru) since reading some of the first books he published and probably all the others too. Why?

Because when I started, they were the most down to earth books for someone with no formal training, clinics or camps.
I could easily relate to what was being said and what to do on the field. It worked for me because, I became better at what I did on the field and I was getting better games because of it.

Now, does that mean that that I whorship everthing Carl says or writes, NO. (Sorry Carl) I take the relavant material and see if it can help me to become better at officiating this game of Baseball.

I apply this same approach to what is written in all the articles on this site and even the material that appears in this forum. And sorry guys, when I compare Rollies material to some of the stuff written here, he has you beat hands down. Furthermore, the man has big enough baseballs to write and publish the articles. That in itself, would be a feat for me.

Personnaly, you have to be quite narrow minded if you let the writings of one individual make your decisions for you.

I don't spend a lot of time on other sites (even though I probably spend too much time on this one) but, I do belong to other venues that offer similar material, for another sport. I find this site to be as good, if not better. I have enjoyed my membership and in fact just renewed it for $50.00 of more resources and reference material.

Can the site be better? Hell everything can be better. But for the buck, I have enjoyed what has been offered to date and thats my story and Im sticking to it.
