No, actually my area is well known for having some of the top teams in the country, and has many of its star athletes make it to pro ball. Prep baseball is taken as seriously here as high school football is on a Texas Friday night.

I find that working any level of baseball comes fairly easy and naturally to me. I may not be the best there is, but I have truly always been a natural at it. I also have trained hard for it, studied hard for it, and tried to learn everything I possibly could for it.

I continue to learn new things all the time, so that I can improve myself. That is one reason I come to these sites, and I have learned a great deal. I feel that what I have picked up here, and at other umpire forums has made me a better umpire than I was before.
