sectionals went well for me individually but not great team-wise. we lost 3/6 of our best players in the first 2 games to injury. we won 1/6 games

the other biggest issue was strong winds the entire weekend and our lack of dedicated throwers. i turned it a lot because of poor throw selection for the given wind.

otherwise i was pretty good at everything else. got a layout callahan, which is when you block and intercept it for a score before they manage to get it out of their endzone. a few big skies and layouts, a lot of pointblocks. shutdown defense against their best players in critical moments. second day my IT band flared up and i was hobbling around at times but still managed to do a good deal.

going to make a full year program to mini-peak once at the end of the summer club season and then again for next year's sectionals. also have to write up programming for team workouts.

i need to take a longer rest between high int squat days. squat felt slow. tryout later today

ahype was today, med men this weekend.
tryout went fine. no highlight type plays but pretty consistent at everything with no wind. defensive footwork is looking shoddy once again, speed wasnt quite there.

i nees to be more honest with myself so heres a brief monologue about my feelings at the moment. i am baselessly arrogant. i have never played on a high level team. my training organization is shit. i am just ego lifting every other session and my training is likely doing more harm to my athleticism than good. barely giving myself enough time to recover.

for the rest of the summer, im keeping all non-rfd lower body to once a week and brolifting to twice a week. i have been working on a program and i have a good general idea of what i need but i need to iron the specifics out.

5/4
90 mins ultimate

5/5
90 mins ultimate

tomorrow: I have 2 tryouts. 9am-5pm of literal non-stop frisbee. just a brief 1.5 hour break between them.

playing friz 4 out of the 5 last days has given me a pretty good idea of where I am at:
-Throws: biggest strength is consistent mid-deep shots, especially backhand. good fast releases, breaks, give-go's. I should be careful with shooting high OI flick breaks which tend to float and have been my least consistent break throw.
-Defense: Conditioning is pretty good, speed probably not good enough to get D's on high level players going under. I should aim to force people slightly deep and stick with them as close as I can, maybe pick up a few D's on high deep shots. My handler defense has always been pretty solid so that's an option as well.
-Offense: Since I will be playing with pretty high level guys, my deep cuts should be a constant threat. Hard 2-3 steps under, stutter step deep to full commit under should almost always guarantee me a free under completion. Hard 3-4 steps under to jump cut deep should get me open for at least a few deep shots. Always be on the lookout to make breakside continuations off of swings.
