this is the email he sent after i emailed him the eval:

The attachment opened up fine. Thank you for the links and for the time to put diagrams into your report. It really made a difference. I appreciate your advice and have been working on them to make them second nature. It was great to be able to talk to you and get a knowledgeable answer in return. I am sure that I will be taking you up on your offer for advice as the season progresses. Thanks again for the advice and for taking the time to put together a comprehensive report.


after the game while we were talking at his car he was open to anything i had to say and was very receptive. his friend, a former AAA umpire, got him into umpiring a few years ago and had given him some tips, but, he had never had any sort of training outside of the initial rules clinic, test, and required field sessions.
