There are two categories of bruises in this world: the ones earned in a proud fashion and the ones to be ashamed of.
These are PROUD bruises! I earned them last week whacking the frisbee out of the air so that the opposing team couldn't catch it. This was the first week that I had done this with any proficiency (ie making contact with the frisbee). These were the kind of bruises which formed instantly and went away in just a couple of days. As proud as I was to have these bruises, I will try to adopt a new whacking method this week so as to not cause my hand too much more harm.
Nice bruises :) There is a simple way to avoid them though, which is also considered the best defense; trying to catch the disc.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, it will bounce off of your hands plenty of times, but the key is that you'll have a very quick turnover this way. Which means you will catch the other team offguard so you can play a fast-break.
Anyway, hope you keep enjoying making sweet D's!
