Jacquie Rooney, Wilson Team Gear Product Manager, spent 2 hours interacting with customers at our booth at the 2011 NCAA Umpire Clinic in Chicago. "This was a great way for me to talk directly with our end customers," said Jacquie, whose Wilson headquarters are in Chicago. She added, "Umpires are so passionate about what they do and the equipment they use, and I always take to heart their ideas on how we can improve our products to make their jobs easier and safer."

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth at the Hyatt Regency Chicago. This time, I brought our new creative director Amanda Tricase as well. We passed out a fair share of the marketing materials and catalogs she has created. And, as always, I enjoyed talking with our customers.

Overall, it was an excellent day and another successful NCAA Clinic for us.
