What It Takes to be a Great Ultimate Player (stolen from Katfish Corner) So, I'm not going to lie - with finals raining down on me, I became fully prepared to simply send the team some article to read, written by someone better and more experience at both ultimate and writing. Easy for me, informative for you. Lame, I know. Then, I started sifting through ultimate articles and, several hours later, I realized that it probably would've just taken less time to write something completely new. Oh well. Anyways, I stumbled across this article that I think is pretty good, and extremely relevant to us, our team, and the mindset that we need going forward. It's lengthy, but I encourage you to read it. At the very least, it's one hundred times more exciting than my circuits book. I want to call attention to one quote in particular: I will tell you all right now, there are more athletic teams out there. They have varsity backgrounds, 75 coaches and trainers, better facilities. But when it comes down to it, that's water under the bridge. We've declared what it is we want, so let's not get complacent until we get it. p.s. There's a lot of good stuff throughout the whole blog. |
