Training for agility - C-Walking!

Ultimate teams are using more frequelntly agility ladders to train for agility and quickness.

I can say I am quicker than many players on my feet. Which means that I can change direction quickly, adjust my position quickly on the mark, and travel like it's nobody's business when I have the disc.

I have never trained much on an agility ladder, but I have been dancing on and off for a while. C-Walking is the style you want to improve feet quickness!

Structural failure

Last Saturday I brought my soft ground cleats to structural failure. I wander if I can get a replacement from New Balance. The model is MF990LK and I have had them for a little over one year.

During the second game of the day one of the soles came off. All of it and all at once. I have never seen anything like this.

Tour 0 warm up

As a warm up for Tour 0 (next weekend in Bournemouth) Revolution, Tooting Tigers, and Burro Electrico played some friendly matches last Saturday.

This season I am back playing with Revolution.

Our first game was against Tooting Tigers, Clapham's feeder team.

The number 3 dominated this game: I had slept for 3 hours, we had 3 subs, we warmed up for 3 minutes, and we scored 3 points. Tigers obviously won.

The second back-to-back game was against Burro Electrico.

Burro is a new team based in South London. There are several guys from Thundering Herd, Flaming Galahs (both mixed teams) plus some random others. All chumps of course :-)

They had 14+ players, and we finished the game with 9. We lost in sudden death.

In the last game Tigers beat Burro by 4 points (I am told).
