When The Cleats Come Off

These past two weeks you’ve gotten to learn the passion my dad has for coaching and raising strong and confident daughters, but this week you get to learn about his new passion: umpiring. Learn why he chooses the “tight” strike zone that he does, how he’s able to keep his cool so well, what he does/doesn’t like to see from coaches in games and also why he’s definitely the right man for the “job”!
