After 11-12 years, if your are asking that question, you just haven't gone FAR ENOUGH in your development as an umpire. Keep working at it though, and you will certainly know what I am talking about.
Oh and by the way, PERFECT ENOUGH, just never happens.

Or perhaps I am honest enough to realize that I sometimes don't see problems where other people would.
Don't let my pose of modesty fool you. I am quite confident in my rules knowledge, game management, and judgement in every game that I officiate. Objectively, my confidence doesn't mean much. Except when I mix with other leagues, I don't have independent critical evaluation, and that I do get is pretty informal. I believe that I have improved every year, but I don't really have a yardstick to measure "Fine enough."
The fact that I haven't attended formal training that has indivualized feedback is probably my biggest concern. Would you all say that this type of feedback is common at "schools," and have you found it valuable?
