So it seems that only the illustrious boomland blogger has decided to answer my question. I disagree with every bit of disrespect I am able to muster. Tough opponents don’t let themselves get kicked in the face.
What defines a tough opponent? Is it the team that beats you every time? I tend to think “no.” I believe that a tough opponent is one that matches up well against your style of play. You may get the upper hand on one point, but you know that they’re right there with you. But you also know that if they take the lead, a comeback is not out of the question.
When you start a game against such an opponent, you know that it will last thirty points, and you will fight for every point. Such an opponent makes you want to play every point. Such an opponent makes you want to prove that you have what it takes. If this opponent beats you (I emphasize if), he will beat you with hustle not calls. He will match your sportsmanship and elevate your competition.
A lot of opponents come to mind:
Next question: (When) is it appropriate to spike the disc?
