As far as the hustle goes, thats what people always compliment me on.

However, for 19 years old, I'm probably not as fast as I should be. Do you think I should be doing anything in the gym to help my umpiring? I can run decent for one game, but once I get into the 2nd and then definatly the 3rd my conditioning isn't that good. I still try to hustle, but I can be too slow at times, or really huffing and puffing out there.

Is it a big deal? Or "no deal"?

You don't have to be super-fast but you need to be able to handle the amount of running necessary to get into proper positon to make the calls.

Work on your cardio.....

I'm 55-years old with knees that were worn out years ago (with the help of exercise and braces I'm still doing what I enjoy and doing it well).

5 or 6 days per week (every week) I jog (ran in the 'old' days) 4 miles per day with my dog (my dog ain't as fast as he once was either )
