at least for me, when i first started doing JO games, 9/10 coaches liked me bc i hustled out from behind home plate, apparently they must have been used to old lazy umps.
also, one of the biggest lessons i had to learn when doing young girls was never assume they are going to make the smart/routine play. example, R1 on 2nd, 2 outs, im in C position, 3-2 count, runner steals on delivery, ground ball to SS. at this point in time, the runner had is 2/3 of the way to 3rd and im moving towards 1st. next thing i know, the SS throws the ball to the 3B. lesson learned for me.
