What I want...

What I want to improve in my up coming ultimate events. Basically the Turkey Tourney and Women's League...

I realized, after reading Edelman's post, that there are things that I want to get better at. All season on Shotgun I was never really considered a threat to any of the other teams that we played against. I want to be like Amy Smith. Every single time she walked on the field, when I was on, I was like "Damn, not her. I'm not covering her!" She's a threat, or as someone says, "A terror on the field."
I want to be like that! I want to be feard when I walk onto the field. I want for someone on the other team to say, "You can't let her get the disc" or "you can't let her get behind you." I just want to be so much better! I want to be able to get the disc and to be considered "a thrower" or a "deep threat" or hell, I just want to be considered something!
I guess that there is a lot of personal pressure because I am not used to not being good at a sport. Playing softball for 14 years (I keep forgetting exactly how long) really shaped me into a threat. I remember over hearing a coach talking to his team while we were warming up between innings. He said, "What ever you do, don't the ball into the outfield unless its a grounder or a low line drive. If you give this outfield 5 feet, its over!" I was a left fielder and with my companions of a center fielder, Jennifer Green or Laura Ryan (depending on the team), it was true. Man, I miss softball. Even though I only swam for 3 years, I was pretty damn good at that, too! For only two years of swimming and making county and then swimming a 26.7 - I couldn't of been more pleased. Bah -
I just cannot wait until I am considered a threat. I can't wait until im good enough for people to ask me to play with there team or ask me to come try out.
So what I need to work on:
I need to work on my throws and release points. Which, even though I didn't play with Rival, I just wanted to say "Thank you, Evil" for helping me when I was at try-outs.
I need to work on my cuts and positioning. Especially in a zone offense and defense. I really need to learn how to be useful on the field.
I just want to be so much better and I can't wait until I am!
