Thanks for asking. I was asked to be an IHSA clinician eight years ago. The IHSA trains us to train the umpires registered with our state association. They mandate and certify our training sessions. The IHSA has taken great steps to improve the mechanics used by umpires and communicate changes as they happen. I take great pride in what I do for the IHSA. Each of our clinics is rated and we are retained based on performance.
While I spent time abroad, I was heavily involved in umpire training and rule interpretation the entire time. I will tell you more in a PM if you would like. I see that even a brief mention of one's experience can be considered bragging and that was not my goal. I apologize of any of you thought I was. I make mistakes and try to learn from them.
Best wishes. I am off to vacation with my family for the kids' Spring Break. I won't miss the snow.
