I mean, guys that know they're not heading for Yankee Stadium without a ticket, who want get better at the level they're at, and may aspire to college/summer league ball at some point (or whatever my association here takes on)? More importantly, are there enough of that type so that I won't feel isolated?
I want to learn from the best out there, since the opportunity is presenting itself, and am willing to pay for that teaching. But I also don't want to be the one AV nerd amongst all the stud athletes, either.
If there's anyone that's been to the pro schools, from any perspective, that would like to address what I wrote, please feel free to chime in.
Thanks!

I was in my late 30's when I attended. I went to be a better umpire and had no desire for a job.
I became a better umpire and worked occasionally as a fill in in long season A.
If you have the time and resources to go, go.
