paideia champs 09!
Favorite tournament memory -
Traveling to Atlanta with HUrt to represent Minnesota Youth Ultimate...in all humbleness and noble fashion.
An 8 team invite, the 1st Paideia Cup was a coming out party for a team, a goal, a program and a midwest school. Hopkins courageously and confidently fought through deep pain and doubts to narrowly defeat the Dynastic home team...to face the legendary Amherst in the finals. For the first time in Amherst's tournament history, they were brought to "half" by an opponent...the underdog HUrtems. The eventual loss handed to Hopkins was a minor detail, and a major win to us in so many ways...too many to list. Between the departures at MSP Airport and the goodbyes to our hosts, lay the moments of the fruits-of-our-labors...born from that - the confidence, love, and vision that has proven to be a cornerstone of inspiration and...the HUrt way.
Thanks for the memories, it makes me smile often.
Now, Ninos and Ninas, go get em.
Go get "IT"! Whatever your "IT" is - may you find success as players and teammates, as well as the family members who add the all important INTANGIBLES factor...and do so the way the game should be played - as noble warriors.
I'd say good luck, but...I believe luck is for those who lack talent, and chance prefers those who are PREPARED.
So, it's my hope that everyone commits to each other and prepares in a manner that will make all HUrtems past and present proud.
:) Been a while since I rambled on to you...thanks!
Always, Bueno
p.s The pain, the pain!..the beautiful pain!
