This boy is out of shape. Pretty disappointed with my level of play today. My throws felt alright, but today's focus was defense so I'm gonna say I played pretty badly. My mark needs to get a lot lower and active, and the problem I've had for the past 3 years is still there. Skying.
I plan to work a lot harder these next couple of weeks so I can get back into shape. Subscribing for the gym, doing some weight workouts, and the usual running and plyos.
Need motivation? Look no further.

Banquet/Scrim
Our banquet was held at Tsuki, a Japanese restaraunt in Bernardsville on Saturday. The food was pretty good, but personally, I thought the appetizers were the best. They had stuff like crispy dragon rolls, dumplings and sashimi. So freaking good.
Awards Given:
MVP - Brian Li
Best Offense - Kahyee Fong and Jacob Price
Best Defense - Teddy Ku
Most Spirited - Tommy Bruno
Most Improved - John Barnum
Rookie of the Year - Charlie Lian
Everything seemed pretty right except personally I thought Alan Kwok was the rookie of the year.
Showed the 22 minutes reel that I had made over the past week, and it was pretty much every single tournament we had been to placed next to each other. Long as hell, but I think people liked it.
My co-captain next year is Jake Price, gonna be a good season.
The only two alumni who showed up were Jon Lin and Art Yeh, the hells up with that. I expected some Dan Baik there or at least some Lu Wang.
Afterwards, went home, cleaned up a little and headed out to a scrim in about 90 degree weather. Sucked so much. Either it was the weather, or my endurance and cardio have gone down like crazy. I was having trouble keeping up and I had to force myself through the pain to make cuts. My throws are still somewhat decent, I've gotten used to using a low backhand to break instead of that wobbly high backhand that I use. I'm trying to get back into the routine of being able to layout at every opportunity, which I had resisted doing this season because I didn't want to get hurt before states, but in the process, lost the feeling of laying out. Mostly on D.
Thus ends my season of '08
Brian Li
Captain 07-08
Starting Line 06-07, 07-08
Rookie of the Year 05-06
MVP 07-08
What highschooler ultimate player has a blog? Ridiculous.

Summer
Turns out I'm doing YCC. Nunez is persuasive as hell.
Recently, I've forgot that I still have another whole year of ultimate to deal with. I don't want next year to be a failure like this year, so I'm just going to have to suck it up and get in as much ultimate as possible before I graduate. I've already completely decided that I'm not gonna play much ultimate in college, not because I've gotten tired of it, but because there are other things that I want to pursue.
Summer schedule for ultimate:
YCC
Skylands (gonna show up when I feel like it, and neglect paying the 40 dollars again)
NUTC Session C, going with Scott Hampton
Gym weight workouts
