The season 2

remember when I was in high school, I always looked forward to playing some ultimate afterschool.I didn't know much about the tactics and often got lost on the field if without a coach.but maybe that's what makes it fun.I had so much fun playing ultimate in my junior year, my first year playing ultimate, but the second year,it was just not as good as the first year, maybe because some big players graduated and the team fell apart due to various reasons.I learned to adjust myself not to care about the result so much. My emotions was usually greatly affected by the game.So I graudated and got to play some college ultimate. I did not remember the fun of playing ultimate.I did not look forward to going to practice so much anymore. The competition level in college is way beyond what I have expereience in high school. The practice is a killer. I regret sometimes I got busy with all sorts of obligation and got lazy or intimidated so chose not to show up in practice.I still have fun, but not so much and I don't know why. Maybe it's just not so much fun when you can't easily outrun people anymore. Maybe it's just about time for me to bring up the intensity and changed my mantality so I can get better and keep having fun.I am surely pumped during the game, but something is missing here.but where's all the having fun feeling????

The season 1

I remember, more precisely-can not forget, what brought me into playing ultimate. The language was the thing that brought me in .since my teacher thought that I would not have much conversation with my teammates if I chose to play tennis.So I made the decision.I had gained a lot not just on improving my language skill but also becoming more socialize.Or at least kind of know more how to do so. I made so many life-long friends by playing ultimate, directly and indirectly. Obviously I was lucky to make such decision. Tennis is fun to play, but still, it's just not so much powerful in the sense of binding the team as a whole.
