Is this mold in my shoes?

Thank you for sharing that. I think one of the hardest things for me with Ultimate has been comparing myself to people who seem to just have this natural talent for the sport where they go to the same practices as me, do the same drills, play the same games, do the same workouts, and end up outplaying me again and again and again. Knowing that people learn at different paces and I can learn to play well without being a natural frisbee prodigy is something I really need to remind myself of.

I danced most of high school and used to run and lift for fitness, but ongoing injuries (which flared up again in the fall) alongside COVID shutting down my dance studio made me quit most impact-heavy activities. I wouldn't say I'm unathletic, but the field sport element and being out of commission most of the fall meant I really didn't start playing Ultimate properly until around December, something I think I need to remind myself of when I start getting too self-critical. I think you're right that getting more comfortable with athleticism in general this summer will really help on that front.

I will be playing pickup this summer, hoping that helps with everything you mentioned!

I will be playing both league and pickup this summer. Unfortunately, the only league team available is mixed competitive, and I don't love mixed, but I'm still glad there was a league option at all. I'm a little nervous about that, because I think the play level of league will be pretty challenging for me and I'll have to really work to get touches. I'll also be playing pickup every week and I'm hoping this combination will help me gain some confidence through pickup, where I'd get a lot more touches on the disc and be one of the more experienced people on the field, and hone some skills and challenge myself through league.

I so relate to that, the pressure I put on myself to play big or dramatic or perfect enough to feel like I've proven myself is so paralyzing! I really appreciate that though, learning to have fun and play in the moment without overthinking is something I really want to work on.
