[SUC] conditioning program

Wed Jun 25 22:30:36 EDT 2008

Philipp,

I dont think experience is the most important thing to consider whether to join a tournament or not. From many players' experience, you just start to fall in love with this sport after you join in a tournament. Believe me, you gonna be so different after the tournament. Therefore, dont feel that you are not good enough to participate in this tourney :-) It will develop you a lot more than only playing pick-ups. You are more than welcome to join these tournaments. If you feel that the game is confusing, its fine because the more you play, the more you understand about the rules and tactics. 

Regarding practice at Tao Dan Park, it seems like we dont have any meeting point but if you run around the park one or two rounds from 8pm-8:30pm, im sure you can find your ultimate fellows somewhere (-; (usually our starting point for running is near the kids' playing area, after the running, mostly we practice at the area facing Truong Dinh St.). Its sad that they dont allow pets in the park so Tex cant join us.

We didnt see you last weekend, hopefully you can make it this weekend :-) 

Regards,

Lien

Hey Aaron,

thanks for the workout/training program... looks like fun!

I would really like to join for Singapore, unfortunately I don't know yet if I will be available at that weekend. Secondly I've just participated 2 times and don't feel ready for an ultimate tournament as strategy and game play are still a little confusing to me. On the other hand I can run a lot and definitively ready to catch the last second Hail Mary pass.

Anyways, I am looking forward to join next Sunday.

Btw where's the meeting point for the workout at Tao Dan Park?
Workout always is a good and fun thing to do.

Everybody have a nice week!

Kind regards,
Philipp*

Maybe 'Tex' would be a nice feature for Singapore as he can distract the other teams a lot.
