My First Tournament Win of my Ultimate Career

Two weeks ago was one of the best moments of my college career. We went 4-0 and won the first tournament of my Ultimate career. While it was not a huge event with twenty teams, I am more proud of my team and our accomplishment than what might show on paper. There were only a few other teams at this tournament, but that did not take away how we felt as a team once we won. 

I can happily say that we earned this win. Practice has been steady, with each and every player putting in effort to improve themselves and the team. All of the work we put in this semester has paid off, and it is a great feeling. From warming up when we arrived at the tournament, to getting into the mindset before the first game, we all knew that this was a tournament that we could compete for and win. 

As we grew closer to winning the final game of the day, the excitement was rising and we all felt what was coming. We managed to win the last game with a decent lead, and we all celebrated. We didn't care about the size of the tournament, because for every single player on my team, this was all of our first wins. I especially felt excitement as a senior. I was able to experience this win before I leave, and our younger players will have many more tournaments to look forward to in their college career.

Ultimate remains as one of the best decisions I've made while being in college, and this only made me feel better about the great choice I have made.

About MrFrisbeeAnalyst

Hello readers, I'm MrFrisbeeAnalyst and I write TheFrisbeeAnalyst blog. My goal with this blog is to share my knowledge and love for Ultimate Frisbee to the world. When it comes to Ultimate, the official name for Ultimate Frisbee, I have been around this sport for a number of years. 2018 was the first year I began to play this sport, and ever since I have not stopped improving and learning this game. Currently, I am now in my fourth year at my university playing Ultimate Frisbee at the club level. As Ultimate is a fairly new sport in relation to other sports offered at the collegiate level, many teams are currently in the club level as well, with a few exceptions in division three schools. Given this, my hope is that I can be even a little bit of a helping hand when it comes to spreading awareness about this sport. Going a little bit further into my frisbee experiences, I have gone from a player on my team to a Capitan my previous season. Being a Capitan for my team helped me reali...

How to choose a disc when playing Ultimate Frisbee

Today I am going to talk about something deeply important to the sport of Ultimate, and that is the disc that you use to play or practice with. Many people will casually call it a “frisbee,” but in Ultimate that word is usually used sparingly. This is partly because “Frisbee” is actually trademarked, which is one reason the sport is officially called just “Ultimate.” But no matter what you call it, the disc you use really does matter in Ultimate, and knowing what to look for when choosing one can make a big difference. The first thing you want to pay attention to is weight. In Ultimate, the official standard weight is 175 grams. Anything lighter than that may feel flimsy and unpredictable, while anything heavier can make it much harder to practice your throws and catches. The next thing to consider is how balanced the disc is. A good Ultimate disc should feel even in your hand and fly smoothly through the air, no matter what throw you’re using. Finally, it helps to look at whether the ...
