Sectionals Postponed...

There's nothing I hate more than preparing - both mentally and physically - for an event and then having it pushed back.

Whatever. 2 more weeks to get better.

The team is finally coming together and we're hitting our peak at just right time. This is the best B-team at Pitt in at least three years. From veteran experience to reliable rookies, guys are making plays and performing at such a high level right now.

There's no doubt it my mind that Pitt-B has a serious shot at making Regionals. The only setback? West Penn only has three bids. It just makes our games that much more important.

Spring has Sprung

It's nice to be playing outside again. It frustrates me to no end to be stuck inside a stuffy place trying to practice Ultimate. Nonetheless, I've done a lot of work physically this year.

I started the year weighing in around 148 with the goal to finish the season close to 160, but with more muscle. I'm at 153 right now. We'll see if I get there.

Doing cardio, track workouts and lifting on a regular basis, I can already see myself improve on the field. I've also worked a lot on my throwing, which is something I felt I could always improve on. I now have a lot more confidence throwing, especially in the wind. I feel confident controlling the disc and working against a zone. It's nice to be feeling good playing offense.

I'm also pretty pumped about my defensive play. I can see that my hard work this offseason has paid off. I'm running a lot faster and beating guys to the disc.

Above all, though, it's just nice to have finally been able to balance my time between school, work and Ultimate. If you don't think it can be done, talk to me. I've figured it out.

I guess life is good now. I can breath easy heading into the Spring season.

Pittsburgh Strong.
