“Foul? But I was just punching you in the face!”

I’m still processing a load of stuff from the weekend – most notably our ‘grudge match’ game, which has given me whole load of stuff to think about in terms of no-contest rules, how to beat drama and why we even play ultimate. Once I have that sorted in my brain, there’ll be a post on it for sure. I also owe Lucy a post which I promised a few weeks ago – so don’t panic, boss. It’s coming too. This one’s a pretty brief post, about boxing out, position and bidding – because something this weekend reminded me of it. This ...

You can go hard or you can go home – UWON

I warn you now this blog is going to be a  bit long and have quite a bit of information for you to ingest and in some places be inexcusably cheesy! So grab a cup of tea and make sure you are sitting comfortably and I shall begin I am sooooo excited for UWON, this is where we can hold our own and being reigning champions, go back and defend our title.

WILTW – Week 6: How to get out of a rut.

What I learned this week: How to get out of a rut. In my typical punctual style here is what I learned week 6. This week I hit a wall. It’s been six weeks since the beginning of term and I feel like I’ve made no ground on getting to where I want to with my own skills and the team.
