Week 2 SMSC Ultimate Frisbee

Back here with another blog post. Last week talked about roller hockey and this week I'm going to talk about my experience in a frisbee league over the summer too.

My experience in the frisbee league is a bit different than the roller hockey experience. I was still playing with people above my skill level sometimes but I'm a better frisbee player overall than a hockey goalie. Because of this I was able to learn concepts easier and become a better, more competitive player as the summer went on.

Unlike hockey I have been playing ultimate frisbee for 2-3 years with the club team here at ONU. Instead of learning new concepts from scratch it was more of refining my skills and elevating my game to a new level since I had experience already. Since I was a new player in this league I got auto assigned to a team. The team I got was made up of players in their mid-20’s who played ultimate at The University of Toledo.

Since I was playing with D1 club players for 2 months I think this is the main reason I elevated my game. Here at ONU we don’t have a lot of people. Usually, our clubs are competitive but still relaxed. At bigger D1 schools they have so many people they can just have multiple teams and can be super competitive.

Something that I think about a lot is mindset and how once you can step back and look around and change your mindset on whatever it is you are doing you can improve and get better at whatever you are doing. I have learned a concept while I have been playing on the esports team from Troy. You need to take the emotion out of it when assessing mindset and goals so you can see clearly what you need to work on and change to get better.

Essentially this is what I did with frisbee. I was able to adapt to a super competitive mindset and I was able to reach my goals of getting better that I had set for myself over the summer.

Welp time is up. Hope you enjoyed your read. See ya next week.

    That is awesome that you were able to play and refine your skills this summer! I bet it was great experience to work with the D1 players and get to know them better as well!

Week 4 SMSC

As week 4 rolls around and is ending there has been something on my mind recently that happened by in May after school ended. When finals were done and I went home and was excited for summer. I needed time away from the classroom and this would be my final summer where I was able to spend most of it with the family. About 3 days after I had been home my granny came to visit my sister who was in town and me at our house. My grandma never liked being called grandma so we called her granny. We ate lunch together and talk for a long time since it had been a while since I had seen her in person with covid and everything. She mentioned how lonely she had become because of it and she had no one to talk to a lot of the time. I told her that I would spend the summer at her house cleaning it out like I did last summer. Eventually she ended up leaving and going home since there was a storm coming, she did not want to be caught in it. 2 days later it is mother’s day. In my family on mother’s d

USA vs. Mexico

There was a huge soccer match this past Friday night. USA played Mexico in Cincinnati for their seventh world cup qualifying match. This means they are halfway through world cup qualifying for the 2022 world cup in Qatar. The match is extremely important since Mexico was top of the group before the match was played and if USA won the match, we would move into first place above Mexico. The match was crazy! Pulisic is USA’s best player but he has recently just come back from injury so he did not start. Usually, USA starts off their matches slowly and does not play to well in the first half. Mexico dominated the first half but thankfully did not get a goal. Then the second half started and this is where the action truly began. The game became more chippy and emotions started to rise up. USA started to look better but Mexico was still getting the better chances. That was until Pulisic was subbed into the game with 25 minutes to go. As soon as he came into the game the mentally of the who

Week 3 Social Media for Strategic Communication Chapters 4-6

This week we read Chapters 4-6 in Social Media for Strategic Communication. Chapter 6 specifically stood out to me. In anything we do we should have a plan of what we want to accomplish. Chapter 6 talks about strategic planning for social media. I found this intriguing because most people who use social media do this to some extent. When someone is making a social media post, they subconsciously think about pre-existing information on whatever they are going to post. While individuals may not explicitly think about what they want from their social media post. People post to get a reaction, or they have an end goal to what they posted. They may not necessarily follow every step laid out in chapter 6, but the mindset is similar. This chapter opened my mind to what companies think about potentially when posting on their social media’s. The end goal of a company is to make money. So, when they are doing social media posts whether it is promoting or just creating conversation online com
