Cinderella Man

A Cinderella Man is something to fear.

“I’m not even really supposed to be here right now, so fuck it might as well make the most of it.”

-As a part of this program in 2009 and 2010 there were a lot of times where confidence in the program was hard to have. There are times when the team looked flat out terrible. The outside Frisbee community has taken note, and they want us to prove ourselves before Regionals. In their opinion we don’t belong in the conversation as a perennial Nationals team, however every year we find ourselves in that position. We need to start making the most of the shots we get, because there is no guarantee that we will get more.

“Who can catch lightning in the bottle, Set fire to water,”

-The biggest weakness of this team and program is our inability to bring the fire. We have joked about curb stomping and have forgotten what it means to bring it, way too many of us are too nice to enjoy stomping on people. Almost weekly an email gets sent out to our listserv attempting to provide motivation. However the fires that burn the brightest come from way down low and can only burn at its brightest through internal fueling. Somewhere, somehow, sometime this season we have to find the fire and we have to unload it on everything in our path.

“There’s a storm commin that the weather man couldn’t predict.”

-Any of you who are inept enough to explore the Ultimate forums on the internet wouldn’t struggle to find several places where people are doubting our ability to ball at the highest level. We didn’t have a good Free State Classic, and several people are betting our region only gets one bid. In my opinion that’s awesome because they won’t be prepared for the storm of haterade that is on its way.

“No remorse, I’m showinn they slowin,”

-When the other team puts their hands on their knees to take a breath or calls a timeout of takes their time to get to the line, we have to recognize that as a sign of weakness and use that as motivation to make them hurt more. No matter how tired you are, you should always assume that your opponent is equally as tired and then it becomes a mental battle. First one to show weakness loses.

“Raise hell from hell he came,
but didn't come to bore you with the cinderella story,
nor did he come to do the same,
he can’t afford to be a label in this day in age,
and at this stage of the game
mediocrity cannot be allowed to fly,”
