Season Recap - What have you learned

[senior]

My feeling is that when you feel you've reached the level you wanted to, kick the props away, and improve some more.

I try to watch some of the Umpires I feel are the best, and pick out some of the things they seem to do better than I, and work on them until I feel comfortable, or modify them to fit my comfort level.

This past season, I concentrated on calling the lower part of the zone with consistency. Secondly, I tried to get a better view of the outside low corner, hopefully cutting down on the "guess" factor.

This past season was also the first one I worked since I started following some Internet Umpire sites, and the help I received from the known (and unknown) sources would be difficult to define, but I know I did a better job this year than ever before, and the boards were definitely a much appreciated help.
