Well, I had my second plate game last night. It was 13-15 year olds. Better pitching helped me feel more comfortable calling a consistent strike zone. I missed some pitches, but I feel worlds improved from my first foray behind the plate.
The learning process goes on!

You will find that the better the pitching the better umpire you become! (Of course there ARE exceptions to that!) It's amazing how frustrating it becomes when you have pitchers that cannot get it in the same zip code as you! It makes it difficult to even make something a strike - at least give me SOMETHING to work with.
Just keep working and take as many plate games as you can get. The more work you get there - the more consistant you will become. The more consistant you become - the more coaches will actually WANT you in their games. Like someone said, don't beat yourself up too bad - I'm sure you did fine.
