My last Sectionals was joyous, stressful, surreal, and emotionally exhausting. Pressure was high to do well since our season could have ended that weekend. I thought with how games were going that it would indeed end there, which I wasn’t ready for. One of my goals from my coaches was, thankfully, to stay positive and I did. I tried to enjoy the moments going by in games whether I was playing or on the sideline yelling and cheering. Those moments were things like our cheers, sick d’s, and laughing whenever we could through the pressure. I expected my goals from my coaches to be more like “PLAY YOUR ABSOLUTE BEST” but it was more of “savor this because you’ll never get it back”. This goal was more helpful.
Things I won’t forget from this tourney: I got a layout D and a donut for it!, I threaded through zones with my team!, and I received the honor of offensive MVP thanks to my teammates catching my throws (good or sideways). Side note: I got to go flip for color and side with the Nebraska captains! So Fun! We shook hands and told each other good luck, so cool! (oh you know I won the flip). Scoring the last point of the game to go to Regionals meant so much to me as a senior. We were near the end zone and I ran a strike and snatched it down. I turned to look back at my line and saw Michelle; the other Saucy senior. It almost made me cry to know that was the last point of college sectionals Michelle and I would ever play. “GROUP HUG” was yelled. This has by FAR been the best year I have had on Saucy Nancy due to our new coaches and new rookies. I value my coaches tremendously for how they guide us in how to achieve our goal of becoming better; especially Shayman. The rookies this year are SO awesome. They are kind people who are driven to becoming better ultimate players and have already made huge strides in their new skills. It’s all about the people you are with that makes this sport great.
