What a difference a week makes. Get your zone right and getting it right most of the time brings about focused, measured calls and respect from the players. On the bases, clear calls, elevating volume as the calls get closer. Pre-empting discrepancy by telling, signalling why you made a call, all goes toward a very nice job on the job.
Butterflies I had a few. But the one true test was the quietness from the bleachers. Quietness from the coaches and when a player chirped, thoughtful eye contact, simple monosyllabic retorts and bang, respect.
Now all I have to do is repeat this, week in, week out and my development will continue.
