Things I need to improve:
- Visualizing the disk as a Frisbee that floats and curves as opposed to thinking it has the trajectory of a thrown ball. I often find myself running to a spot. The wrong spot.
- Learning how to mark a player on defense. In attempting to face guard opposing players today, had two catches made directly over my head as I had no idea the disk was coming towards me.
- Throwing with confidence. I still treat the disk like I treat rebounds in basketball, the less time it spends in my hands, the better.
- Avoiding contact. Hand-checking, tackling, setting and running through screens, these seem like natural things to do in team sports. Apparently frowned upon in Ultimate.
For all the Ultimate players out there, if you have any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.
Also, do you keep stats in Ultimate? Because if you do, my stat sheet would be:
+/-: -4, 1 assist, 1 score, 2 sick D's, 0 layouts.
is this real life?

ReplyDeleteHow's about I tell you all the things I'm trying to do and you can give me pointers on how to do them?
Got any sick videos of you playing Ultimate?
By the way, what was the name of your Ultimate team when you were here?
The legendary Thong. Ask around, and you will only get gasps and raised brows.
