1st scrimmage of the year

Labels: , ,

Yesterday we had a little scrimmage mostly A-team guys, a couple B-teamers. Anyway, it seemed like everyone played incredibly well and it was great to play some frisbee with people who are actually competent.

Few thoughts on my play: I was able to get open on incuts at will so that was sweet, Fickley said that I need to cut deep more, definitely true, im not used to playing with people that have deep throws so i guess ive kinda got used to cutting one way all summer

I have to get rid of the disc earlier, had a few times where i got up to stall 6 or 7 before looking dump, this did not lead to any turns or anything, but in the future I need to get it moving quicker

Anyway other than that I think I played fairly well, I was glad to see that I am actually in shape to play, kinda worrying about that


Team as a whole played really well, everyone was commenting on how it was pretty fluid, no real problems with tremendous amounts of turns or anything. Also, I have to say that the sophomores as a whole really got a lot better over the summer, Im really pumped for the rest of the year 1 comments

Bobby Summer League: 8/11

Labels: , ,

Sweet game today, won 15-14 after being down 10-4 soon after half. We played really well 2nd half: 11-6 is pretty heavy domination so that was sweet. Both teams only had 7, so it was a bit of an endurance match and I think athletically they lined up a little bit better than us in terms of speed and we were able to grind out the win as they got tired.


A few cool happenings: caught 3 scores in a row that all got called back... kinda cool, obviously annoying, decided to go for an in cut on the 4th chance, shoulda gone for the score again to one up those bitches from gainesville.

Threw for a couple of assists, some nice hucks which was cool after not playing for almost 2 weeks

I am in a pretty good place athletically as I didn't get too tired playing for like 1:45 straight (we skipped half time and used only 1 time out collectively lol)

The ability to catch well with either hand is pretty important, i have been working on using both hands just throwing around with my brother and it was super helpful on a couple of scores where i went up and grabbed them with my left hand instead of my right

Handler on our team complimented me on an IO break flick, im pretty sure i could be the best handler on the team if that's what i had wanted to do, I'm glad i've worked on cutting though, biggest thing i've learned so far= patience is key, its actually pretty damn easy to get open just wait for your chance

Got some sweet poach D's

Couple not so good happenings: I still try to force throws a little too much especially in the endzone. Also threw a real shitty huck because I hadn't completely committed to the throw, its almost always better to throw it a bit long than short, let your man run to it. 2 turns in all is ok, but not where I want to be in the end especially cause im not handling on a consistent basis

I'm excited for playing with a real team again, the general lack of speed and athleticism on my team is frustrating to say the least, people were getting beat consistently deep which is why they were able to jump out to such a commanding lead early. Also, throwing to slower targets is annoying



Interesting things: Main handler for the other team went to Emory and said he had practiced with chain lightning which is sick. He is a nice guy and a pretty solid player that we will have to watch out for if we play them again next year, super quick and pretty good throws though not very tall. Loved running strike, so I just decided to take that away and almost give him dump throws, then play super aggressive mark, almost came up with like 3 point blocks, which is a definite meh, but forced some bad throws. Anyway, we talked about his team getting thrown out of the movie theater at regionals, that was frigging hilarious. Hopefully, we will play them at some point.

Missed a couple of chances at bid D's because the field was like running on chicken wire and i bitched out, again reinforces the idea that you really need to be aware of the terrain around you before you start playing. Whether the ground is soft in one spot and therefore hard to run through or whether it is too rough to bid on you need to be aware and play your man accordingly.
On a side note to the grass on the field sucking, the field had a major slope to it which affected both the way we forced as well as some of the game play. We forced downhill the entire time, not completely sure why, but i guess it seemed to work out, not sure if this is better than forcing the other way. Practical application of this knowledge=0 but is it kinda interesting? I think so. Also, one of the major issues I had with the slope was on a floaty throw into the end-zone where i judged my jump to catch it at its highest point but came up short because the slope took the ground out from under me, and we missed what could have been an easy score... frustrating.




Anyway, my finals are on Saturday, wish me luck. I'm really pumped for a real tournament and hopefully we will at least make the finals(we are the 2 seed) because probably the best guy I have played against this summer is on the top seeded team and I want to D up on him again and hopefully shut him down with some tournament adrenaline going. 1 comments

Questions and thoughts on Redzone offense

Labels: , ,

For some reason i feel like you guys talk a lot about scoring and for some reason, i dont really remember scoring all that much every game this summer. Perhaps this is due to my team clogging the lane like crazy and the fact that my team's deep throws are for the most part non-existent. Or perhaps, in an attempt to not clog the lanes in the endzone, i shy away from making endzone cuts unless they are truely wide open, limiting my chances. Anyway, I was thinking, I don't exactly know what the best way to cut is when you are in the endzone. Is there a particular strategy or place (position in the stack or from the handler position) that you cut from that works best for you? Or is it pretty much the same as cutting anywhere on the field but with less room. Its pretty nooby to be asking this at this point but hopefully we can share and improve on this aspect of the game.

At risk of ranting horribly, my thoughts on the issue: the cuts that i see generally working in the endzone are cuts to the front force-side cone or either break-side cone. This generally is true regardless of where you cut out of the stack unlike on the rest of the field. The real problem with endzone offense, obviously, is clogging as people become a lil glory hungry and cut when it would be better if they did not. Realistically you can only have 2 cuts happening at a time in the endzone/ever and hopefully you should always have a breakside and a forceside cut, but oftentimes you will get many more so probably you would want to assign certain positions from where to cut for endzone offense. That being said, im not completely sure what would be the best place to do this from, traditionally we used the front of the stack in the endzone, but i think that in some ways the middle would be almost more effective as the defender is generally not on his guard as much. On another note, the right cut will not always materialize so the best handler strategy is probably to be super patient, as the worst thing is to work it down to the endzone and then turn it over on a bad throw. You should always have only 2 cuts at a time, forceside/strike and breakside, to maximize opportunities for the handlers. Maybe we should have set plays, that go farther than just the ones we already have as those tend to sometimes force unnecessary throws, called that make it so that this is constantly happening w/o clogging. 2 comments

Wildwood Revelations- Bobby

Labels: , , ,

I was thinking about writing a post about Wildwood cause it was such a sweet tournament and was definitely a lot of fun, but I really don't wanna talk about all the fuck ups I had (there were a lot) and overall i think I played pretty shitty for the most part, but there were a few good things that I gained from it which I realized today during my summer league game.

First thing is that I realized that I have become a little bit impatient/I am trying way too hard for big throws and cuts, instead of being more team oriented. This is really really shitty and i think one of the reasons that I feel i had such a crappy tournament. However, going into summer league today I was thinking about this and adjusted my play accordingly and I feel that I had a pretty awesome game. Worked more on looking off throws that were unlikely to be completed and focused more on working the disc more (still forced a couple things as I was getting tired but playing a little bit more chili definitely made me play better.) Though I didn't score as much or get as many assists as I normally do, i felt that I was instrumental to many of our scores, which i feel is just as good. I have determined to play defense in more of a role that myles took last year as opposed to the way Aric did in the sense that Myles was a great cutter all year but rarely took a huge risk and in general made really smart decisions to limit turns. Not to bash Aric's play style, but the amount of stupid turns i had at wildwood helped me to decide that i dont necessarily want to be as aggressive with hucks yet until i become more sure of my decisions and ability. I know I have the ability to throw pretty good flick hucks and i will still practice it among other things and may use them in the right situation, but I have decided to try to limit my usage of this and play a lot smarter. In general I want to work on focusing more on defense and contributing positively in smaller ways on offense.

Another thing that I found that is extremely important is the role of adrenaline in a game, as I had a hard time walking due to a cut on my toe but when I got into the game I found that I could run pretty easily. Also, in the last game of the day on saturday, I kind of got "on fire" a little bit, scoring or assisting i think 5 of our points in a row after just missing a layout d, but I was also a bit flat at other times during the games (dehydration also a big problem with this for me this weekend). I think for a team to do really well they have to rely on the boost that adrenaline can give you by striving to keep it pumping by keeping the team in the game and excited.

The conditions of the tournament were a bit difficult, as running in sand and throwing in strong wind are not easy at all, however they are really good for improving your game. Practicing throwing in the wind is the shit, after getting that down regular throws are ridiculously easy. Also, after cutting and running in sand, using cleats on grass makes everything so much easier and im pretty damn sure it has made me more fit. maybe we should have beach training days in williamsburg?

One thing i definitely appreciated from wildwood as opposed to summer league is the way that our team was much more enjoyable to play with than my summer league team which has a couple of real big douches on it. Made me realize the importance of team chemistry that I'm glad we have to a good degree but that we should continue to improve.


Thoughts on the A team players who were there:
i think fabio came in great shape to play and seemed to be kicking ass all over the field, bidding and skying real high. His throws could still use work i think but im looking forward to his play next year, and i need to get in a bit better shape too i think.
Sean your throws are damn tight now, maybe you need to be a little bit more chili with some of them, but it was not fully serious frisbee/the wind sucked balls. also great cutting
Fleming was awesome as usual not much more to say there
Kyle needs to not fuck up his shoulder

EDIT: due to being retardedly harsh on myself/ranting and forgetting stuff 2 comments

Bobby: Vermont Ultimate

Labels:

So yea, like 2 weeks ago i played some really good ultimate up in vermont, it was pickup but the players where all either quite experienced with great throws or young and fast with decent speed so it was a solid game, thought I'd write about it now cause i dont really have anything else to write about and im bored.

The Good:
Caught a Callahan- pretty stupid, just stood in the endzone and the guy put it up high stall count, floated right to me after being caught by the wind

Threw a pretty damn nice full field flick for a score, not much to say about that except that it feels good to have the ability to do that

Got a nice D as I pursued my man through past the handler as he was clearing through on an in cut to the dump, was pretty much a point block thats how close it was, anyway i was reminded of a pretty obvious lesson in ultimate which is to not clear close to your handler(kinda a nub move by the guy i was covering)


The Bad:
Learned the importance of really having some kind of connection btw the handler and the cutter as I threw multiple turns when i was trying to throw io flicks to the break that were relatively catchable, only to have my target not follow the throw or not be ready for it. Frustrating

Dropped an easy score early in the game, just plain stupid... I think I might have gotten the D after that so made up for it but its still annoying

I'm probably a little bit out of shape, found myself winded after a couple of points, pretty damn annoying, have my work cut out for me to hopefully get near game shape for the start of school

I still find that I don't throw backhands with regularity, this is potentially due to the fact that most people force flick assuming that that wont be as good of a throw (suckers) but i think I will start trying to break people with the backhand at least in pickup/summer league just to try it/for fun

Our lanes in the endzone were really clogged, probably an issue that most disorganized teams face as people have too strong a desire to get the disc (kinda disheartening that we had this problem to an extent last year though)

No bids, I think the way the field feels makes a huge difference in my willingness to bid cause the field was a bit bumpy and hard whatever, although i was contemplating bidding over this one woman, woulda been fucking awesome but definitely would have crushed her, so i backed off at the last second






Anyway there was probably a lot of other cool stuff that happened but 2 weeks later i can't really remember so whatever, anyway it was a really good set of games that we played at a relatively high level which was kind of refreshing 1 comments

Setting your Goals High

Labels: , ,

One of the most important things that you can do as an improving player is to set your goals as high as you possibly can, strive to be the best player on the field even if you are seriously under experienced or overcome by the athleticism of the players around you. One of the biggest shifts that I experienced last year that I think made a huge difference in my improvement was that after winter break I really stopped viewing myself as a freshman and stopped comparing my abilities to freshmen but instead I tried to compare my abilities to the players on the team that were above me. I wanted to play shut down defense like myles and vereb, have sweet throws and decision making like Niji and the rest of our senior handlers, and be a beast cutter like acie.

Obviously, I was unable to match up to the performance of these players best qualities due to lack of experience and probably general impossibility which made practicing and games slightly frustrating at times for me, a great example of this is that I would get down on myself if I perceived that I had made a bad decision even if it turned out well also I probably underestimate my own value to a degree. However, I know that this mentality enabled me to push myself really hard on defense and helped me become pretty solid on D. Furthermore my throws and decision making improved tremendously to the point that I got chances to handle in practice towards the end of the year, something that no one really envisioned to start the year and I hope that more experience will continue to improve. The biggest thing however was my focus on cutting as it was the thing that has given me the most trouble, I often watch the upperclassmen and feel that I could be able to get the disc with as much ease as them but when I'm on the field I somehow this does not completely translate. I set my goals high and I felt that was unable to reach them, however this does not mean that I set them too high as the drive to reach them definitely made me better as a player. Just now remembering back on looking at the stats for roll call I realize that I actually had a good amount of touches on the disc, and far more than I remembered having and I realize that this mindset helped me improve tremendously and I need to focus more on my accomplishments and progress towards these goals than my inability to reach them immediately as a freshman.

As my dad always cornily but truthfully says, "set your sights high, and you will go far" 2 comments

Bobby: Quick Defensive strategy

Labels: , ,

I tried this today, I think it should work pretty well:

When playing against a ho-stack and the disc was on the sideline, I covered my man in on an in-cut but the throw didn't go off to him. I heard the the stall count at 5, so I quickly checked behind me and saw that I had a teammate deep so I stopped where I was and clogged the lane expecting my teammate to cover me deep (should have yelled but it slipped my mind, obviously very important to do), playing a poach D to try to get the stall for my team. Probably some holes in this strategy as in all poach D's, but I felt that this was a particularly good opportunity to poach, we forced them to throw a stall 8 wobbly dump throw which was disappointingly not D'ed, but it did put a fair amount of pressure on the thrower and we got a good result out of it.

The real point of this though is that on D you should always be looking for opportunities to play a little bit of poach D if it is beneficial, for the beginner player it is something you should observe and register but perhaps not act on, but it can be a play that makes getting a D possible for your team while conserving energy and can therefore be extremely valuable. 2 comments

Bobby: Summer League- 6/14 updated

Labels: , , ,

First time playing ultimate in over a week, damn it feels good. Been busy lifting boxes all week, annoying and painful: my back was bugging me all game and I am out of shape from where I want to be due to this, I don't mean to make everything a lesson but physical fitness and well being are vital to be most effective when you play, make sure to take good care of yourself to stay in prime ultimate condition. Otherwise, it was a great game, we played easily the best opponents we have played so far this summer season, they worked the disc well and had a lot of experience/a couple of them were wearing the same college jerseys, it always helps to have experience playing with people. We definitely had the advantage physically though which lead them to run a strong defense that i'll talk about later. We ended up winning a hard fought 15-13 game.

Not too much interesting going on for me today offensively, played very consistently mostly of my catches were on in cuts, only had one turn which honestly should have been caught also threw 2 assists and one score. One thing that worked particularly well on a deep cut was that I started to clear in then busted deep again, kinda like a little stutter step, worked well and burned my man really easily

We played a different type of zone than I'm used to today which was a 3-3-1, kinda interesting basically you have the 3 front men in the cup with one of the side guys switching off to the mark (force middle so when its on the sideline the man who would be guarding the up line part of the cup is the mark and forces towards the 2 remaining members of the cup). Then there is the next three with the 2 on the outside playing as wings pretty much like in our zone where they play the area and pinch in to cut off the field but kinda play man within their zone (our wings were not very strong which weakened the effectiveness of our zone. In the middle is what they were calling the shallow deep, its basically his job to cover the over/through the cup throws and the position of the offensive zone players is relayed to him by the deep-deep who does the same as our 6 and guards against the huck, I played the deep-deep which was really fun as there were d chances all over the place I think I had like 5-6 in our zone defense (like 3 more playing man with a few damn close misses on bids), not sure how this style of the zone matches up with the one that we run definitely seemed to work well though despite the lack of wind, though much of this can probably be explained by the general lack of coordination that a summer league team playing in their 3rd game is sure to experience, can you offer your thoughts niji?

On a funny/weird note, my team calls me either monster or animal cause of my play its pretty flattering i guess but i cant really take it too seriously, its kinda funny how the quality of play in college is so high

Finally got a semi point block (hand) wooo, barely fouled the man though so i guess it doesn't really count, but im definitely improving my mark, in fact you might say it has improved markedly, its all about intensity (make sure not to over commit though) in the past I definitely treated it as a little bit of a break, that is just inexcusable

The other team played a defense that worked remarkably well by forcing no hucks on the mark and then forcing us out on cutter d, I think apart of this d's success was our team's inexperience in some ways but they also had some inexperience so I feel like its porbably relatively easy to run, also I know we ran it a few times last year, but i definitely think we should in the future

We started doing the same thing at one point and it definitely worked quite effectively, though I don't like that style of defense as much as this made me realize that the way I play defense is that I try to react more to what the thrower is trying to do than my man (while still keeping up with my man) therefore I always like keeping the handler in my field of view, I think this tactic works pretty damn well for the most part i guess sometimes I can tend to lose my man a little, you guys want to elaborate on how you most effectively play defense/the potential weaknesses of mine? 3 comments

Bobby: Summer League- 6/2

Labels: , ,

Finally got to play some real ultimate today for the first time since regionals, it was pretty awesome, took a bit to get back in to the swing of things but going into half and afterwords I asserted myself into the game and began kinda dominate on both sides of the disc, I'm pretty sure I am the best player on the field for my team and we aren't a bad team; this is definitely a nice feeling, I'll have to use this opportunity well. Anyway, we won 15-6.

Some quick things that I'm gonna write down real quick before I head to bed, I will come back to this and expand on it later.

1) I threw a bullet flick for a score today which was the best option at the time, which reminded me there is a time and a place for almost every throw and working on developing all throws is an important goal

2) I wanted to work on cutting so I kinda didn't speak up when they asked if I could handle (probably a mistake) but I'm pretty sure that I have some of the better throws on the team so I'm gonna speak up for next time, I should try to step into the handler role a little bit while I'm playing with this team, also shows how much you can improve throwing if you put the time in, as there were people who had been playing for more than 7 years that I had better throws than

3) I kinda realized how incredibly important athleticism is for cutting, I am definitely one of the more athletic people out there on the field and I was able to cut rather effectively, need to continue to build this up especially on my direction changing

4) If I bid a step earlier and make the first step to try to make a play a second earlier I will start to come up with a lot of plays, bidding is a ton of fun but it still sucks to just miss. In general decision making and my first step needs to be just a little bit faster, when the game slows down you need to think about what your doing, but the second action begins you need to put this behind you and just react.

5)A bit of a side note, I need to try to remember how I was pulling today as I started to put some really good air underneath them and we were able to get down to our men before the disk even dropped a lot of the times, which is truthfully an amazing advantage

6) My mark was actually pretty decent today, kinda went with a new approach of jumping around a little bit and trying to distract the thrower also i took a half-step back, seemed to work to some degree and the extra motion that I was making definitely made me quicker on my feet, something to work on is knowing when to use different kinds of marks on different throwers

7) Concerning your last post Niji i realized that one of the best ways to get others to play with more intensity is to have intensity yourself, it is awesome to see the entire team pick up their game a little bit after you make a sweet bid or a great throw you can communicate the need for intensity with actions almost as well as with words

8) I feel like there is a way that everyone should be able to talk about the game while in a game, for now I will call this captain speak. Basically in my view it is either when you are just intense enough about the game so that you keep everyone focused or you are able to keep the team loose while not distracting them from the game at hand, but the best of this is when a person can do both and know which of these approaches to go for in different circumstances in games. This is something that I want to develop personally, as having the ability to keep the team in the game through talking to your team is a vital aspect of frisbee and is something everyone should work on.

On kinda a random note, any frisbee that isn't William & Mary frisbee (all of it) for me right now is practice and although I want to win just like in practice I treat it like practice in a lot of ways. It is important in frisbee to set your priorities and goals and then work towards them, mine being making myself better so that I can make W&M frisbee better next year, this should be the goal of all members of the team this summer.

Also a bit of house keeping here, I don't know how to title these so that its easier to tell whether whose it is just by the title, cause if we are all writing about summer league/practices once school begins again it may get confusing... thoughts? 1 comments

Pickup is Shitty- 5/28

Labels: , ,

Basically, I played in a really shitty game of pickup yesterday, good news is i got my brother playing for the first time, and although the vert stack we were running was complete shit he realized how cool real frisbee could be, now i just need to teach him to play cause he honestly kinda sucks (not an indictment of him, he just started, definitely could have some potential and hes starting far earlier than a lot of people). There were a few cool things to take away from the game though

1) Don't play too far off of your man at the back of the stack even if you can beat him in on an incut to either side from where you are. I realized this as this guy threw up a 50 yard hammer bomb that connected just in front of the goal line and was indefensible from where I was standing, i haven't seen this throw before and it was impressive to say the least and although im not sure most people could pull it off its something to be wary of, a break backhand huck could probably achieve the same effect

2) Had a SICK poach bid D at chest level in the endzone it was awesome, a guy said, "that was inspiring" haha sorry to brag but its a funny story i think maybe you needed to be there, on other bids i needed to bid just a step earlier need to readjust my mindset on how far i can get extension/explosion through the disc

3) People kept commenting on my speed which was nice, but i was neutralized in a way by an inability of my teammates to throw big hucks so i couldn't cut deep and people not clearing out was pissing me off, i could get open underneath at will if noone was in the way but the level of disorganzation/ lack of communication was bullshit, I prefer playing with non-noobs

4) Need to work on getting a quick read on the disc when playing D and retreating on a huck

5) My Mark still sucks a big one

6) Want to face better opponents as I could break the people in this game at will/ was getting lazy on in cuts and got run through when i stopped coming in

7) Better concentration needed too many stupid throws and dumb ass drops

8) Left this for the last cause its the most important thing I got from the day, I got to experience the world through Niji's eyes a little as I had NO cuts coming for me the entire day kept looking for hucks and noone ever gave me that cut which was awful (finally just threw one away in frustration) also like no in cuts, it is very challenging and frustrating to play handler when no cuts are coming, keep this in mind next year

Now for a quick question to our venerable Sensei: Is cutting deep on the breakside out of the middle of the stack if the lane is open a good idea? I feel like in general as it can cause confusion if the other team switches leading to poaches and your man will not be expecting it 4 comments

Thoughts on Pickup Game- 5/23

Labels: , , , , ,

A few thoughts from my first game of pickup for the summer:
We had only 12 to begin with so we played savage 6's for the first 7-8 points, needless to say i played all of about the first 12 points that we played with very little down time, i was disappointed that i got quite tired after these points and my ability to make plays was decreased for the rest of the game, i guess this is somewhat expected considering i haven't played in about 3 weeks but i would like to improve my stamina and maybe learn to conserve energy more effectively, tips for this- remember to eat and drink before playing/ bring snacks and water as my lack of doing these obvious things definitely did not help. On another note, we ran a really sloppy vert for the most part (not wholly unexpected for a pickup game) and I found cutting to be challenging without a structured stack due to lanes being clogged, this really enforced the importance of having a structured stack

Good to take away from the day-
Threw some really good flick hucks, some that i thought were good were unfortunately not caught I'm assuming its because it was a pickup game
Threw a really good backhand huck for a score.
Worked on my fakes and break mark throws and definitely felt some sort of improvement as the game progressed
Played pretty good defense (on a random note I was called out for bodying up on a strike cut)
Made good short throws and dump cuts, played relatively good handler
Realized the extent of my improvement over the course of the year in both throwing, cutting, and defense playing against players that were not on a collegiate level as i was able to dominate the game until i became fatigued

Things I still need to improve-
My mark is still kinda shaky (though macked one or two, need to work on being lighter on my feet, got semi-broken a few times
better decision making with the disc, threw away too many discs of throws that i did not need to make; make sure communication has been established before throwing
Remember the rule of thirds

A lot of these observations are a bit basic but still vital to improving my ability on all levels going forward, furthermore pickup games are obviously not the place to improve on a lot of aspects of the game as hard man D and cutting deep are quite a bit easier due to an overall mismatch in athleticism. 0 comments

My First Year of Ultimate: Looking Back and Forward

Labels: ,

All things considered, my first year of playing ultimate went pretty well, as a team we were able to make it to our regional tournament and gave Tennessee a real run for their money, even though we backed into in a way, we definitely deserved to be there because given the chance we would have broken seed. Also, our sectional tournament was a lot of fun as we beat the teams we should have unfortunately falling just short twice against JMU, a team that we will definitely butt heads with in the future. Personally, I think that I played pretty well in the spring season, defense was definitely my strong suit and I hope to improve offensively to help the team more on that end next year. Over the course of the year, I feel that I improved my throwing significantly and have gained a greater ability to use my athleticism effectively to make plays. Though my awareness on offense still needs some help, I feel that I have good awareness on defense and when my man is not actively cutting I am always looking for the poach D's. I'm looking forward to the next year of Frisbee at W&M and wondering what it will be like without our seniors, the handling core of our team.

Goals for the Summer:

Defense: Work on dictating
Work on deep game
Increase Awareness
Work on my Mark

Offense: Improve cutting significantly
Improve Awareness of other cutters
Improve decision making and throwing while in possession of the disc
Better backhands
Improve the flick huck

Overall: I have to work on a more positive attitude/stop getting so down on myself after mistakes, live and learn but dont make the mistake again

Continue to Improve Athleticism and ability to use that athleticism effectively as i have noticed players such as fickley and niji, who I am probably a little bit more athletic/fast than, are able to play shut down defense and cut quite effectively, and if i can work on using my athleticism better I could undoubtedly increase my ability. Also, I want to play as much as possible next year and do not want to be tired while doing so
