Hi everyone,
Just a quick couple of notes on the Shippensburg Tournament.
First, I thought the game against Millersville Friday night was our best game. We played strong defense, counter attacked quickly on offense, handled their zone (so they didn't use it much), and we just made many great highlight plays on O and D. Dean's diving horizontal DEE (and catch!), and then executing a give and go to get a diving horizontal goal was awesome. Dean doesn't say much--just watch and him and play like him!
Secondly, all the other games we played nice defense--except that last one on Saturday. Defense is the foundation to playing good ultimate, and no matter what the score, weather, calls, whatever--we must always played hard on defense.
Let the other guys be too cold, or too hot, or too worried about non-game issues--we need to be mentally tough. Mental toughness is a hallmark of Messiah, started and epitomized by Chris Schultze.
Thirdly, on offense, we had some good flashes. We just need to eliminate drops, and be a 100% on our short passes. That will come with practice and more playing, just be patient and persistent. We also will work on cutting, and the timing of cuts. Check out the video posted by Charlie, and notice the movement of everyone without the disc.
