Advice for the new guy

[tmielke]

I work my first high school game tomorrow (4/30). My experience is limited to local rec league. I have been around the game for several years watching my daughter as well as coaching in and running the local rec league.

I have been lurking here, Eteamz, and NFHS forums for a bit, read the books, and gone to games other than my daughters just to watch the umpires. I saw some good ones and some that need to read the umpires manual again.

I have learned a bunch since I decided to umpire, amazing what I didn't know. Anyways, any advice to help get me started on the right foot?

Thanks
