While I have been playing ultimate frisbee for many years, it was not until I reached the IB when I really had to put some thought into strategy and stamina. Frisbee is a game with lots of running. And being able to balance your energy is extremely important! One of the many skills that I learned this year are not only technical skills such as catching, throwing, and knowing where to stand, but also knowing my own limits and knowing when to pace myself to not make myself tire out throughout the game. While it may seem trivial to many people, I’m not a person that does lots of exercise so in this case it’s extremely important for me to know myself and to not push myself to the brink of exhaustion because at that point. I will not be having any fun.
