Today I'm going to talk about the scariest time of my life. It's 6:30 am on a Tuesday, July '21. I wake up to go to my job at the bagel shop and my legs are numb and unresponsive. I think I slept on a nerve or something and go into work but it doesn't get better. I sit on a stool
Stay on your club team!!! Convince your boys to stay on your club team!!! Set a long term goal of beating the team thatβs βbetterβ than you right now. Loyalty is important itβs how you build chemistry and see what youβre really made of! Invest in yourself, people will follow ππΎ

The mindset that you cannot make or compete for a spot on the top club team in your area without playing for the second best team in your area hurts player development. On a large scale

Hey! I care a lot about ultimate, if you care at all (or even if you donβt, but u still play) fill out the club player feedback form!! it helps drive a lot of discussions during the off-season and can shape the upcoming club seasons
βBall donβt lieβ is spirit of the game. People out here thinking itβs interpersonal. Make a bad call u gon end up alllll over the tape and that ainβt up to me π₯·
So like soccer got hella different leagues, those leagues got slight variation in the rules, from what I understand at least, with the highest level players playin in the leagues where the rules benefit the better players/reward skill/nuance (Issa thread)
If this was going in a museum I was curating I would add a placard that said βintegrity, the societal standardβ orrrr if the museum was in Philly βplay fair or get fuckedβ
I wonder how many people arenβt going to get to tryout for team USA cuz the important email went to their spam πand instead of confirming on the fancy new usau website we gotta email Barb snaggletooth
Me and T was talkin bout college and she said βwhat do u know about Sig Figsβ I said huh, she said Significant Figuresβ¦ I said you mean those smart black women?
Since I heard heads was chatting in the best slack in DCβ¦ vaults was a better team in 2022 but Redwolves broke Truck at sectionals and vault did notβ¦ call that a gentlemanβs bagel
I know Frisbee heads ainβt with the culture cuz they bite all the time and act like they donβt. Tayara putting up Wayne numbers in the βinspirationβ category Fr
@ultimatesascha
Bruhβ¦ maybe the u24 teams, not beach tho. This is some countries priority and so we should send the best of the best, when players are younger and thereβs more variance is when I think u can expand the pool of people being considered heavily and take on less prestigious folks yk
I posted some pics from this past season on the gram π₯²reminiscingπ₯² these are the ones that didnβt make itβ¦ shout out our amazing photographer go follow him on IG
This the point where I gotta say, for any of this to happen for ultimate to progress in any way, there has to be an intentional push to get more youth ultimate players into the sport, around the country, in all the neighborhoods etc etc
If you played club ultimate and havenβt done your 2022 player survey, go search β2022 player surveyβ in your email and fill that out itβll really help us make club better fit everyone in the near future!
Heck you could even have the semi pro leagues fund the youth stuff, maybe like an academy system similar to soccer so itβs mutually beneficial sooner than just scattered clinics, but that requires a relationship to begin with.
I love ultimate players posting the most unathletic plays then arguing abt random results. Like without context everyone is wrong. If an athlete from another sport watched it they would just laugh. I usually laugh. Then it reminds me the state of my βsportβ and I cry π₯²
Havenβt talked abt shred fest on Twitter but itβs a ultimate clinic where weβre finna learn a new style of offense. You will get better at throwing, balance, leveraging the defense, beating zone and person defenses. December 17-18 hmu with questions
A turn caused by the pull is a βPull statβ wether thatβs a back cone pull or a unreadable bouncy jaunt or a roller past the pull catcher, if the O turns it βPULL STATβ but if the puller then catches a goal off that turnβ¦ is that βPull bookendsβ?!? I like making up frisbee lingo
Even the postgame interview from row was legendary. The raw emotions to snapping into the zone and looking forward to tomorrow. Just the goat. ππΎππΎ
Just rode by a field saw dudes throwing and yelled βthrow a hammerβ homeboy seemed very reluctant but did it! We need a better βdo a kick flipβ alternative, any ideas?
If players aspiring to play on the best team felt like being a leader, building a program, even showing loyalty was valued by the top clubs then they wouldnβt leave their larger role to be reduced to a smaller role on a βbetterβ team just to have that on their resume and network
If this wasnβt the norm, young developing players could stick with their teams and attract better developmental coaches and actually develop year to year instead of being pigeon holed early in their careers by trying to earn PT on a new team (wether youre young or not)

Post season so bad we got dudes in chairs at pickup in the rain instead of at home watching Monday night football, just yellin hammer and out n stuff πππ
β¦that looks like youth ultimate being mainly local orgs. Anything other than the βtypical college A teamβ being ignored (B team tournaments being canceled, community college athletes not being allowed to compete). A refusal to have a relationship with semi pro leagues whatsoever
I feel Odell cuz I be sleepin heavvvvyyy. Wakin up to people that βcouldntβ wake u up and are now pressed abt something top tier bad vibes. Also the disapproving looks from heads that ainβt wanna say anything to ur faceβ¦ I feel that heavy π―π―π―π―π―π―π―π―
