Summary: Wish I hadn't bought it, not worth the cost.
Comment: There was nothing in this book that our association hasn't covered nearly every week. I was very dissapointed. It offered little tidbits like "a postgame review can help you learn from experience". Don't we ALL do "postgame reviews", even if it is simply going over the game in our head on the drive home? I certainly do. No, I'm not he best umpire in our association. I would rate myself as somewhere in the middle. The book offered me nothing new, nothing that our association doesn't talk about constantly. Buy a Childress, or save your money.
Rating: 5
Summary: Fantastic
Comment: This book is fantastic for real-life. There is a lot of help for learning how to become a better umpire. You will not find a lot of discussions about rules, except for the excellent and extensive coverage on balks. Most practicing umpires do not need so much of that anyhow. This gives excellent advice on analyzing your performance in addition to some mechanics (e.g., being a mobile plate umpire). Some of the biggest help is in the did-he-actually-write-that discussions about how we umpires do make mistakes and how to handle them. The author does not simply say to never admit your mistakes, especially since his West Point education has embedded the opposite.
The reading is quick and easy, but at a mature level. Definitely recommended for umpires at all levels.
Rating: 2
Summary: Entertaining but a bit shallow
Comment: Does not display the depth or completeness of a Childress book, but certainly entertaining enough for little league umpires.
