Hey Coppa,

I want to thank you for committing so much time to Ice when you're so busy with school, its sweet to have you out there during track workouts to burn all of us. As you know we're looking to shave the base roster size down to 25 or so and subsequently the coaches will be watching your play much more closely over the next couple weeks. Don't be afraid to ask them questions either cuz that's what they're there for. Here are some of your strengths and weaknesses as far as I can see:

Strengths: solid forehand, great endurance, good speed and quickness, you don't panic easily

Weaknesses: your height, backhand?, ability to "take over"

Your build forces you to fill a specific role on the team: quick handler. I think that the main thing you can do over the next few weeks to impress the coaches is to embrace that role and be the best you can be within that role. That means that you should keep working on your breaks, both forehand and backhand. Also, you should play around with some give and go plays since you're so quick. This will allow you to take over when the disc is stalled back with our handlers. Feel free to ask the coaches how they think you can best serve the team at the handler position.

Let me know if you have any questions, comments or if you think i'm wrong. Let the coaches know too.

From my point of view you need to be mistake free and get a little more agressive. If you can limit silly turnovers you should be fine. Another thing you should focus on is becoming a shut down defensive player. With your speed you should be able to frustrate anyone who steps on the field against you.
