On Ultimate Frisbee

If you watched ESPN2 or ESPNU (ESPN8) over the past week, you might have seen some ultimate frisbee* or caught this ad for the sport: It’s a little schmaltzy and idealistic, but it also highlights some of the things that I love about ultimate. I started playing in 2001 at the age of 26. I …
