I can think of only one goal right now for us in the series. Thats to win this region. Hopefully that would mean taking out everyone, puppet slow tandem quiet, over the course of the series. Last year lucas had me training like my life would end if we didn't make natties. This year I've been a little flaky, especially of late, but I'm gonna step up my training to make that last catch in the finals.

I (unfortunately) completely agree with Billy. Right now we don't need the mentality that "but we have been trying" and "we are ready" because his point was that we haven't REALLY been trying and that we can never be too ready for this weekend and the rest of the series. Obviously some people are putting higher priority into Bashing than others, and that comes with your own lives. Not everyone has the same amount time to dedicate to practicing as everyone else, that's a given. The point is that everyone CAN dedicate just a little more time to working out their own kinks and flaws and improving their strengths to make yourselves better (and that includes you.) As for proving teams wrong on the field, that's a great concept, but we haven't done it this season all that much, and I feel the reason is because we haven't tried to prove anything to ourselves yet. Yeah, we are good, and yeah, we can be great... So why aren't we yet? Compared to last year, NOBODY has stepped up to where they were last year, let alone played better. Our chemistry is getting better and always will, but individually, everyone can be better. I'm pretty sure everyone is geographically located close to someone else who plays ultimate (although geography was never my strong point), so go out and throw hard one extra time before sectionals. Do one more set of sprints. Run one extra lap. Whatever you have to do to get that hunger back from last year/get a fire under your asses to prove we made the right decisions this year (directed at new people). Don't know how to end this post, so... P.S. Lucas snuck in his post right in front of mine... bastard On Sep 17, 4:49�pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > hey > > so i wasnt on the team last year - > but i think we all know that nationals isnt a given and > thats why we have been having team practices and working > at making each other better players individually > and us a better team collectively. > > as for what other teams think - lets just prove them wrong on the field > > i think we are def ready for this weekend. > > peace > natalya > > -----Original Message----- > From: Glassman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: Bashing Pinatas <[email protected]> > Sent: Wed, 17 Sep 2008 4:30 pm > Subject: Attention Bashing > > ashing, > Over the past few weeks, I�ve been chatting with a handful of people > n bashing, and everyone I�ve spoken to has agreed that our team > oesn�t seem hungry this year like it did last year. �We as a team > eem..content. > Last year we had something to prove. �We had a chip on our shoulders > rom the year before. �This year, it seems like the team as a whole > ssumes that nationals is a given. > ut it�s not a given. �There are a lot of tough teams we need to go > hrough in order to make it to florida. �Puppet is gunning for us. > hey want to pay us back for ending their season last year. �Quiet, > enoret, Slow and Tandem. �If we aren�t hungry these teams will beat > s. > veryone has a dozen excuses as to why they aren�t in the best shape > ight now�work is busy, school is hard, my body hurts etc�.In the end > veryone can watch TV less, play video games less and use that > time to > o to the gym, run, throw, etc�I know some people are working hard, > ut as team we need to work harder. > Our team cannot rely on a few people to get us to nationals. �Two > ears ago, Dave left regionals for a wedding and we crumbled. �Last > ear, feetch got injured and couldn�t play in the last game on > unday. �Anything can happen that�s why everyone on the team needs to > e working hard in the next few weeks leading up to regionals. �Don�t > hink its ok to not practice and train because someone else will get > s to nationals. > Lets prove we are the team to beat in the Northeast starting with > laying up to our teams potential this weekend and winning sectionals! > Doug, we�ve got a couch with your name on it if you feel like > raining�..hope you take us up on our offer. > Cheers, > Billy O > ===========End of original message text=========== --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Bashing Pinatas" group.
