My goal is to be the very best umpire that I can be.
I will work to attain that goal by attending clinics, studying the rules, and asking for feedback from other umpires I respect. Whatever level that gets me to will be great.
I learned a while back not to set goals of working a national tournament or a state final HS game or NCAA regionals. I would beat myself up when those assignments didn't come and I saw other officials who I did not have a high opinion of in those games.
I also choose not to play some of the games that may be necessary to get those assignments. I choose to let my work on the field speak for me. If that's good enough...so be it.
I strive to always keep learning and trying to be a better umpire.
