How?: When I started college,I joined an American Football team. After about two months I had a back injury and I felt disappointed, unhappy.Then, one of my closest friends, Hüseyin (Camalan) took me to the ultimate practice and I loved the game.
Layouts, deep cuts are the best things in this game.


What were your best and worst moments in the team?
Best moment: The moment that we got the title in our team’s second year. Most of the good players had gone and  we didn’t think we were good enough to win. We were group of rookies but we won somehow. That’s why that championship is the most valuable one for me.


Worst moment: This year (When I was in Germany for Exchange), when I learned that Goats lost the title. I only wanted to drop the phone.Not being able to help friends was really painful.

31/07 Sunday Practice: It's about quality and not quantity

The attendance for the Sunday practice (4 healthy, 1 injured players) could have proven to be detrimental for the practice, but one must not forget that this is the Goats! Even though we didn't run a lot, we still had our wounded take nice photos of us so that we could have new facebook profile pictures! Throwing, jumping and lay-out exercises involved.

 Some nice air battles indeed

 To ultimate or not to ultimate
