Sectionals<\/strong><\/p>\n I play for the Santa Clara University frisbee team and this past weekend, we played in a big tournament called “Sectionals.” \u00a0It consisted of the best teams from Northern California and Southern Nevada. \u00a0The top seven teams from this tournament would go on to “Regionals” (which consists of the best teams from the SW United States) in two weeks. \u00a0While at the tournament, one of the seniors on our team made an unbelievable catch, on a pass that was out of bounds and about to fly over a fence. \u00a0He leaped up and caught the frisbee while climbing the fence, reminiscent of an outfielder in baseball robbing a home run.<\/p>\n Since the game was being recorded, the video of this unbelievable catch quickly made its way across the internet and just yesterday it was tweeted out by Brodie Smith<\/a>, a very well known professional frisbee player and trick-shot YouTube sensation. \u00a0It was a great reminder of how powerful technology is in sharing stories.<\/p>\n Ease of Communication<\/strong><\/p>\n Within just a couple days, the whole world was able to see a single highlight that happened in Livermore California over this past weekend. \u00a0Thanks to the exposure from Brodie Smith’s tweet, the play is currently at #1 on the frisbee thread of Reddit.<\/p>\n Twitter and Reddit aren’t common places where scholars would think to look for communication and interaction, however, this is a simple example of how easily people can be connected in today’s world. \u00a0This same concept can be applied to learning in a classroom environment. \u00a0People from across the country and world are able to share ideas through these technological developments.<\/p>\n SC Top Ten<\/strong><\/p>\n Our team is currently trying to get the video to be played on ESPN’s staple sports show, sportscenter. \u00a0We are using twitter to raise the number of views of the play and hopefully as a result, more people will see it and potentially it will ultimately wind up on ESPN. \u00a0If it wasn’t for the ease of sharing and communication that the internet provides, the only people who could have witnessed the great catch would\u00a0be those who saw the play live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sectionals I play for the Santa Clara University frisbee team and this past weekend, we played in a big tournament called “Sectionals.” \u00a0It consisted of the best teams from Northern California and Southern Nevada. \u00a0The top seven teams from this tournament would go on to “Regionals” (which consists of the best teams from the SW … Continue reading ![](\"https:\/\/pmcdeadline2.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/08\/espn_logo__130813225927.jpg?w=446&h=299&crop=1\"){kind=logo}
