As I played with my team members, we maintained a winning streak and won the game with a score of 18 - 4. But it got me thinking about how I was able to throw a disc without a moment's hesitation despite the fact that the slightest breeze, angle change and position change would affect the discs path of motion. This forced me to question instinct, how is it that we can move without a thought, but other times we take days to make a single decision? Decisions are best made in seven breaths but on the court you only get seven seconds to let the disc go. Humans by nature are born with fear, that single moment where the heart beats faster and the world around deafens. That's the moment where we're frozen, incapable of making any decision. But how is it that we overcome fear? The questions of life has even managed to find itself on the Court but it leaves the question without an answer.

Event #8 - Ultimate Frisbee ASB Tournament (June 2nd)
On June 2nd, I carried forth my tradition of playing Ultimate Frisbee at the ASB stadium in the Social Grade along with my friends and trusted team members. Upon stepping through the doors of the ASB stadium the feeling of nostalgia seemed to fill the atmosphere as I thought back to why I first decided to join. Ultimate Frisbee has maintained a nature unique to the rest despite the fact that it holds factors of netball and rugby it has it's own standings, whether it be it's difference in physical shape or crowd of people.As I played with my team members, we maintained a winning streak and won the game with a score of 18 - 4.
