Fall, 2008

So I mainly started this blog because of a suggestion by Joe. At pond pickup two weeks ago, he told me that he had been trying to write down something every day to document his training for the upcoming frisbee season. He suggested to me that I do the same, telling me that it would offer a great motivation to keep training and leave me with a tangible result when it all comes to an end. As a player entering my fifth year on the A team, Joe pointed out, I have the opportunity to provide a perspective on Zoodisc that few other people could claim to match.
Now, had Joe's suggestion come in a vaccuum, I probably would have said, "Yeah, sounds like a great idea," and then promptly forgotten. However, this semester I happen to by taking a class on full-length nonfiction book writing and publishing. In this class, I am required to write a book proposal that can be submitted to a publishing agent. I'm not sure that I am going to write a book about Zoodisc (nor am I sure that such a book would be accepted by a serious literary agent) but it is an option that I would like to keep open, and keeping a log of this final year of college ultimate gives me a halfway decent start on a book should I actually choose to go in that direction.
In summary, here is my idea: I am going to try to post something, at least a little something, every day that I do something with Zoodisc. I'll also probably interview members at some points, and certain alumni at some other points. When this season is over, I want to be able to read back through this and read the things that I thought during different parts of the season.
That's all. Let's see how it actually goes.
