There are certain areas of my life in which I'm very confident - financial matters, my work, and certain key relationships. On the other hand, like most people, there are areas in which I'm less confident in my abilities. As surprising as it might seem given the amount of time and effort I invest in it, ultimate is one of those 'less than confident' areas.
Week 16, the big defeat I referred to was being cut by Firebird...first night. Definitely not my proudest moment, given I was playing with the open guys every Friday night this past winter, and worked extremely hard in the gym. Having said that, considering the evaluation process, I wasn't shocked to be told I didn't have to bother coming to the Saturday morning tryout.
After a day or so of feeling sorry for myself, I decided I still want to tour this summer, and that I better motivate myself to go to the coed tryout on Wednesday (I barely remember filling out my application for coed as an afterthough). Luckily, I have a very supportive group of ulty friends, who not only helped me get pumped for the tryout, but helped push me during the 2 hour session.
About an hour ago, I got my invite to the 3rd coed tryout this coming Thursday. I can only surmize that I was able to get enough confidence back by last Wednesday to show I still had something left in the tank. Granted, I'm only being considered for BigFish and Arrested Development, but it's a positive step in the right direction after being so down about Firebird.
I'm promising you, and more importantly myself, that I will make the most of this opportunity, and dominate on Thursday night. I know that's big talk coming from me, but what can I say...I have my confidence back!
