Mid Summer check in

Hurtems & Hertets!

I hope that all of you are taking the opportunity to get better so far this summer.  Whether you're working out, throwing 1000 throws a week, or playing YCC - the best way to get better is to play the highest level of ultimate available to you as often as you can.

There are also some good opportunities to learn by watching coming up:

1) NexGen vs. Subzero @HHS stadium; 4pm on Sunday July 22nd.  There's really no reason not to go watch this: Hurt alums battling it out at the Hopkins stadium with a lot of other talent.  Event details

2) MUDI - @Maple Plain July 28-29th:  A club tournament that includes most of the Hopkins coaching staff, and a lot of Alumni - all in the same place!

3) YCC tournament volunteering/spectating @NSC August 11-12th.  Volunteers are needed for score keeping and other tasks.  These are the best U19 and U16 players in the country all gathered together at NSC.  Several Hurtems and Hertets will be competing.

Watching really talented players compete is a good way to improve because you can apply their strategies/moves/throws to your game.

If you're not sure what you should be doing this summer (other than the Cub Foods truck), please ask one of last year's captains or your coaches.  Don't come back in the fall and regret the throws you didn't throw or the workouts you didn't do.

Remember, too, that RECRUITING is a full year, full time job.  I look forward to welcoming several new Hurtems and Hertets to our family in the fall.  Make it happen!
