Thank you Stiggles for teaching me how to play defense. Still had no endurance, but totally shut my man down all game, and he was one of the better players on the team. Got a nasty layout-up D on him, and maybe another, as it was an iffy foul call that I no-contested, but would like to see the instant replay on. Just sat on his hip, so he couldn't go deep, and ran inside with him. After I got the first D, he was totally demoralized.
Played tight on offense, with no turnovers. Didn't force any deep shots, even though I wanted to throw a hammer to Dave Powow the entire time. Had a very nice forehand break that only worked because it was indoor. Gotta love it.
Winter league team is very good. Two nasty handler ladies, and decent depth. I think our low-end is worse than other teams, but, for the most part we don't turn the disc over, which goes pretty far. We were up something like 9-2, then 19-7 at half, and won like 31-15. Other team was missing Adam Stern, which is a lot, but not 15 points. The only players in the league that I think are going to give our team trouble is Brown and Siege. As good as Powow is, he just can't run with those guys.
Even though I have not been running, p90x is making me so, so much faster, at least in the 5-20 yd range. So much burst.
Wore the all-blue GUNX uniform today. Must've been why I played so well. Got llots of compliments. Didn't really think about it before today, but, tryouts started today.

Gunx all blue in 2013? Why am I graduating. Dammit.
What does P90x do for teaching burst agility?
One of the days is a plyometric workout, so that is a lot of quick movements off the ground along that help you with acceleration and deceleration.
Otherwise, I am just a lot stronger in both my lower body and core.
