Even though I'm not that good, I'm happy with my game overall. There a few things I want to improve, but mostly I want to play to <b>have fun</b> and <b>stay in shape</b>.

In order to keep it fun, I feel that I need to progress, so in a way I want to keep a steady progression. I would like to be guiltless someday, but I'm not pushing too hard for it.


For the second part. I feel that the only thing holding me back from improving faster is me. I'm too lazy. That's basically what it comes down too. I could make the time to play more and play harder, but I'm too lazy. I let myself find stupid reason's not to play just so I can not use the energy. :roll:

Weird :P I always try to find reason to shred, even if I shouldn't because I have more important things to do (school, studying for final exams, etc.)... The reasons I try to find are like this: I have to shred to relax, because I'm too stressed and in this condition I won't learn anything :P.

Yeah... That's it...

No matter how good I get, I'll always want to be better. So I have no goal that's like, "I want to get this good and then I'm happy." I'll never be satisfied with how good I am because there is always the possibility of getting better.

No, I don't play soccer. Yes, there are competitions. 4 years. Lots of practice.

Riku, I almost thought I'd be the only asshole to say it. Haha. I'm not going to lie here.

How good to I want to be:
-The best

What's keeping me from achieving this goal:
-Nothing. Just give me a little more time.

I'd like to get to the point where I can hit all the unusual surface tricks that I want to hit. Apart from that my goal is to become a really random footbag player :wink:

The beauty of footbag is that no matter how good you get, you can always get better. So I have short and long-term goals, but no ultimate goals.. I play because it's fun.. I imagine that if for some reason I stop making progress, it won't be fun anymore- and I'll retire.

I'm constantly striving to sharpen my blades.. But I have no illusions that I'll ever be one of the best. I'd sure love to be one of the best, [or THE best] but I'm simply not progressing fast enough. At this rate, I'll be BAP level when I'm 40.. Anyway, at this point, my long-term goal is to be tripless, [or atleast genuine guiltless] with lots of variety, spinning, and style.

Gimme a few years.. I'll get there.
