What I Learned Last Year
Looking back at last year I would have to say that I learned that taking assignments should be done carefully. While I had a desire to start doing Varsity after a year of JV ball, I realize that nothing replaces game experience and you need to do that on the field. In addition, I resisted the urge to sign up with the local area assignor for non-HS ball. That was the wise thing I ever did. There was no way I would have been able to maintain a high level of focus beyond the HS season. I come the conclusion that while I want to umpire to the best of my ability and game experience is the best teacher, I do not have the drive to umpire 6 days a week for months on end. I am much happier limiting my games and learning graudually.
