Also, apologies for the weird white text background. I can't seem to get it to go away so I made the text a different color to make it as readable as possible. I think Blogger doesn't like me very much.

What has your experience been playing Ultimate Frisbee? Have you enjoyed it?
It's been a fun game which I can play with my friends.
Do you believe Ultimate Frisbee has been beneficial to you as a person? Why or why not?
Of course. Great physical activity, good way to hang out with friends, good way to relieve stress.
The article "Got disc? The 'Ultimate' experience in physical education" believes that Ultimate Frisbee would be an excellent physical activity for children and teenagers in school, what do you think about the possible addition of Ultimate Frisbee in schools?
Would be a great addition to schools. It's a relatively safe sport and that doesn't need to be made safer for kids to play. Also its a relatively easy sport to pick up. Throwing and catching a Frisbee is easier than throwing and catching a football or kicking a soccer ball. Easier to learn means that more people would be willing to play and feel more accepted while playing.
The article "The tactical games model sport experience" discuses how tactical physical games benefit the human body and the human psyche. How do you think Ultimate could benefit someone psychologically?
Helps in the way of keeping people relaxed by relieving stress. Also helps train the mind to work with a team which can help later on in life. Can help with planning if actual strategy is used in the games however I see this as not being a thing that would happen a lot.

What has your experience been playing Ultimate Frisbee? Have you enjoyed it?
I've been a huge fan of ultimate since my first game. When I was a beginner, I was really nervous about screwing up, but I've always enjoyed it. It's a great game for pre made teams or pick up groups. I've met awesome people and created lasting memories playing ultimate. It's always fun to reminisce on the huge play that someone made. Ultimate has a wonderful ebb and flow that makes it really exciting to play. One second the disc is going towards the end zone, and has switched possession in another. I play for the social interaction and the big plays.
Do you believe Ultimate Frisbee has been beneficial to you as a person? Why or why not?
I think that I've gained a lot from ultimate. I'm always trying to make my communication more effective, and Ultimate usually requires a little bit of that. It's helped me become patient with people who are new to the game. This consideration for new players translates over to other activities as well. The "Spirit of the Game" aspect of ultimate has helped me become a more honorable opponent. I always try to make the fair call, even if that means losing a point. While Ultimate might not be the first topic I think of when I hear self-improvement, I can comfortably say I've benefited a lot from the sport.
The article "Got disc? The 'Ultimate' experience in physical education" believes that Ultimate Frisbee would be an excellent physical activity for children and teenagers in school, what do you think about the possible addition of Ultimate Frisbee in schools?
Ultimate would translate extremely well into the school system. The fact that other team sports like football, basketball, and soccer are so popular as physical education is proof of this. Ultimate is also a great spectator sport, given its fast pace. It's a non-contact sport with an emphasis on sportsmanship. Everything checks out.

That's what they have to say for Ultimate Frisbee, what do you think?
