I feel it is especially important as a new member of an already pretty tight team, a chance to "crack the code". I found that after one tournament, I was able to gain a thesaurus of sorts to the teams inside jokes and one line renditions. For example, embarrassing yet hilarious moments, past tournaments and favorite Internet sites constantly quoted that, until this point, had gone right over my head. It definitely made practice more enjoyable, once I was no longer surrounded by gibberish.<BR/><BR/>Additions to the car ride list that I personally enjoy are...<BR/>-snacks! The homemade trail mix is always a big plus in my book. about anything that can be passed around with little mess is great to have.<BR/>-mixed CD contest. Fun way to share your taste, bring the team together and can start some great conversation over the judging of songs. Plus it is a way to connect the whole team, no matter what car you're riding in.<BR/>-breaking of the bubble. You can always feel closer to your team after you wake up and find yourself entangled under a mass of sleeping bodies of everyone else in the back seat. Extra closeness for the drool spots you discover later on.<BR/><BR/>Another other off field favorite of mine is sharing the single motel room. Sure it can get smelly and cramped, but I find the best stories come from or out of that sort of situation. I truly believe that ultimate players invented spooning.Lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076294037750323973noreply@blogger.com
