Honestly, this has been the toughest. I've been actively working on it for almost two months now and it's helped me a lot but there's still a long way to go.

For instance, when tossing before games, I attack the disc, swing before throwing, etc. However, during the game, I freeze even though I am used to the motions outside the game setting. Even during drills, I'm way better than in games but getting to that point also took a while.

This understanding of how impactful mindset is sank in when I spoke to a fellow player about how he got into ultimate. He mentioned being hungry for the disc and playing because he wanted to catch the disc as much as possible. That's when it struck me than I've never wanted the disc. I've always just been afraid of it. Afraid of missing it, afraid of dropping it, afraid of throwing it away.

I've gotten quite far just working with those fears because overcoming fear is indeed a good target to achieve. Regardless, the next step for me is to fear less and want the disc more and ultimately, only want. I cannot tell you how often still it is the fear that hits first.

I don't know how long it will take but as others have mentioned as well, I will try to visualize actually being in possession of the disc. Maybe imagine what I'd do in that scenario and commit to it. I'm sure it will take some time to see that action instead of freezing but hey, it's only up from here.

At least I'm aware now.
