Training Video Help

PAT THE REF · #1 (**permalink**) Mon May 29, 2006, 03:15pm

Hey everyone,

I am looking to purchase some good quality training videos to view. P.O.S. sells a few and wanted to know if anyone has seen them and wanted to know if they were worth the $30.00 each…..

Thanks,
Pat

Check out the Gerry Davis video series on his website.

Bob he no longer has it on his site, just the Childress videos/dvds.-

I would call Scott Ehret, and see if they have some still in stock. It would be worth the effort. The tapes are great!!

The best video aid available is Jim Evans' "Balk' video. Do not waste your money on "See a balk, Call a balk".

Thanks... So, the "See a balk, Call a balk" is a waste, and the Evans is great? and how are the Childress videos?

Besides attending clinics and schools... The forum has been very good to me... I just wanted some videos that I can review from time to time to assist my mechanics...

Thanks
Pat

Papa C is a must read and see. Don't forget the officiating.com website, both the free stuff that Carl has as well as the paid side. The authors there will enlighten you.

Papa C? Im sorry, do you mean the Childress Videos?

Yes, that's Mr. Childress' nickname. Papa C. in deference to his fatherly qualities and not his age.

A nickname in deference to his age would be Grandpa C.

Also, here's a bunch of videos you can consider purchasing. I've only seen the 90' mechanics video and it's a great video for beginners.

In early January, every year, I view the 90' Diamond Mechanics Video, and Evans Balk Video, a couple of times, before getting started with meetings and clinics. The Evans Video is 60 minutes and the 90' Diamond Mechanics is 30 minutes. It is time well spent. I also have the See a Balk, Call a Balk, but I got it before Evans, and now I never look at it.

I've also seen the Evans balk video and it's very very good too.

Does it discuss other things besides balking?
