2024夏 | 交换生特辑 AC

    When I first started playing ultimate frisbee, what drew me so close to this sport was how much trust was needed between teammates. It was unlike basketball where a single person could beat an entire team just by being good at the sport. It was something that I really enjoyed especially seeing how the team welcomed me with open arms.

- Two moments, the first was during SUUA finals, we were up 2 points against Tongji and instead of Aboom going on the field being the veteran, I was given a chance to play because of how overly proactive I was that I wanted to play. Unfortunately, I did not make the most out of that playing chance. We lost that game. I held myself partly accountable for not giving my all despite being given the chance, and strived to be better moving forward.

- The other one was on the last day that I was in Shanghai, I still trained with the Crazy Saints team. On that day, I didn’t expect to play much because the team was preparing for the CUUA competition and I just wanted to hangout with the team. Unknowingly, I ended playing way more than expected. It was unforgettable for me because of how my teammates made me feel that I will always be a part of the team. They continued to encourage me and teach me to improve and when I scored the last point, they were cheering non stop. It felt like a dream, but no, it was reality.

   - The best experience I had was when Aboom, Wangnan, Michael, and Liz all gave me learning points during trainings. This was important for me as it gave me a chance to improve faster and because of their guide despite sometimes what others may seem as harsh (I loved their straight forwarded-ness in calling out my mistakes and teaching me how to improve). It was the best experience because I wouldn’t be where I am today without this experience. But lets not forget the different experiences with Mia, Keiko, Betty, Blake, ZC, Lili, some my teammates whom I became closer to and helped me not only be a better frisbee player but also learn Chinese faster hahahah.

    - I think the only similarities of basketball and ultimate frisbee is competition and team sport. I love both factors but aside from that, these 2 sports are totally different. I started to fall in love with frisbee as I mentioned above because it made me feel that my entire team was just as important. Although yes, my experience in basketball helped me a lot with the tough trainings that I had to endure back in the Philippines and all the quick thinking skills that we had to face during competitions.

    - Ultimate frisbee influenced me with the following things: Discipline, Family, and Trust. These 3 things which I believe are some of the most important things that one can learn in life.

 - I am truly thankful for the experience and the time that you all have spent with me. The journey may not have been smooth all the time, but it was through these challenges that made the journey even more memorable. I want to extend my appreciation for welcoming me with open arms, it has been an unbelievable experience and I wouldn’t have traded these moments for anything else. I hope you never forget me and do visit me when you come to the Philippines!
