Not holier than thou, just showing people that you dont have to be single track minded. This year I have been able to involve the college basketball team and netball team in our ultimate coaching sessions. As a result a number of them have really taken to the sport, some havent but respect it as a sport. All those who have been involved have however taken back the ultimate spirit to their respective sports and I have had comments from each of their coaches and coaches from other comments that the general attitude has really improved and that the players really seem to be enjoying the competition and yet getting along after the match (something very ultimate like). All of this was only possible because of the interest that the ultimate team showed in other teams and the support they gave. I am sorry if you think that we should have the same attitude as all other sports, spirit award is really given much value in other sports, lets scrap it, oh and those calls that we do after games... thats not very professional... perhaps we should bring in a referee too? Do we want professional at the expense of the spirit surrounding ultimate or do we want to show that you can have both? smudge __________________________________________________ BritDisc mailing list [email protected] http://www.fysh.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/britdisc Staying informed - http://www.ukultimate.com/staying-informed
