"I set very high standards for myself and worked every game with the same energy and enthusiasm as if it were the seventh game of a World Series."

Success
"Our students learn more in 30 days than one could learn in 30 years without our training. To really maximize your potential as an umpire, you need to get a solid foundation as soon as you can."
