The ultimate in Ultimate Frisbee is this feeling
just before you're about to layout,
and you just leave your feet.
You're sort of like flying for this half second
as the Frisbee sort of floats there, waiting for you.
You just come pluck it out of the air.
When you do make that catch, it's
one of the best feelings in the world.
A lot of people think it's just standing in a circle throwing
a Frisbee back and forth, but it takes everything
out of you physically.
It takes incredible cardiovascular endurance.
It requires being able to sustain
a short burst of energy.
It's a lot of sprinting, it's a lot of quick cutting.
And if you're very good at throwing,
if you're really fast, there's going
to be a spot for you to play in ultimate.
We focus a lot on just getting the fundamentals down.
But we also rely a lot on our chemistry.
Any kind of club organization that we have at UVA,
you're going to get a mix of the best, brightest, people.
We have some guys in the [? Comm ?] school,
some guys in grad school, some guys
who are in the College of Arts and Sciences.
And when we put that all together,
it does a lot for our team IQ.
Because everybody kind of has their different perspective.
We are 14 and one so far in the season
and we are playing just phenomenally well.
This is the first time our team is going to Easterns
in quite a few years.
And we're excited to bring UVA back to that tournament.
I think we really just take every opportunity
we can to get better.
We not only look to go and run sprints twice or three times
a week, but we also take mental reps, we watch a lot of film.
Coming out to practice three- four times a week
and just being with these guys all the time
throughout the week, you're getting a nice team bond.
That's what sets us apart.
We are so much more than just a sports team.
We're one big family.
And the guys I know I can turn to if I
need help with anything.
Outside of Frisbee or inside of Frisbee,
we all realize that it's something special.
It has made my entire experience here at UVA.
I wouldn't trade it for anything.
