Ultimate Frisbee Champ?! Well... It Depends on the Day.....

So, I guess you could say I am not that coordinated.  That actually might be an understatement.  But anyways, I have never really been that great at organized sports unless I am constantly in the action because I get bored too easily... Hello ADHD.  But, I do pride myself in one thing... and that is ULTIMATE FRISBEE.  An amazing sport.  Constant action, running, catching, the whole nine yards.  I would consider myself pretty decent of a player... especially considering I am really short.  But, sometimes, I get a little too cocky when we decide to play at youth group.  I start talking about how I am actually pretty good.  No one believes me of course, cause they are all used to the goofy, uncoordinated Beth that is around 99% of the time.  Well, of course I get defensive and think, "I'll show them!" Well, a couple of weeks ago at youth group, this is exactly how the night started. Me. Ego. Defensive.  Anyways, we started playing... and I probably shouldn't have even opened my big mouth.  Cause of course, the one night I am SO excited to play, I suck.  I was tripping every where.  I was dropping the easiest passes.  I was throwing off target and just NOT playing well.  NOT to mention, I fell down.  Twice.  One was a really excellent FACE PLANT and the second was running backwards to catch a pass in the end zone.  I biffed it on this mini hill.  Another? I almost ran into a tree.  I really am NOT this bad... I have no problem admitting when I suck at something, but this was just embarrassing.  Now, people will probably pick me last to be on the team... that's what I get for talking smack... after that, everything goes downhill (literally...).
