THE ELITE UMPIRING PROFILE
Do you want to know how to get the most out of your umpiring potential? If so, you should familiarise yourself with the Elite Umpiring Profile.
The profile outlines the attributes commonly found in the game's best umpires.
These six capabilities are all equally important and you should aim to develop each across your umpiring journey.
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PLANNING
Developing the Elite Umpiring Profile takes time and requires you to maintain continual engagement in your role as an umpire.
Achieving your umpiring goals requires planning, commitment, and hard work.
Consistently maintaining a Personal Development Plan, that includes measurable goals, and specific actions to help achieve them, are a key component of reaching your umpiring potential.
