00:00Good morning. Welcome. Good morning, good morning. Why is he having this round thing?
00:11He needs a flat ball. Flat ball. Ultimate. When I started Ultimate Frisbee at elementary
00:18school, they said it's dangerous. Do not do it. Good man, I know you're good. In a game,
00:24you're going to get angry. What is your strategy to deal with those emotions? I'm not a coach.
00:31I'm a counselor. This is not boring. It's such a good thing. It's good for your soul.
00:37Okay, open it and take one and pass it. It has to be one only. I met this person that
00:42was on his team once and she said always listen to a gym. She has to say, you will win. I've
00:51been here in this country longer than Iran. It was a horrible experience. They treat you
00:57like a criminal. Anybody comes to this country, you are always underdog. It's very difficult
01:05to live in a different culture, but we have war in our country. Eight dollars an hour
01:11was not enough. 40 hours day time, 40 hours night shift was still not enough.
01:24I love the underdogs, always. It's the world's largest youth
01:29Ultimate Championship anywhere ever. Your trophies are still part of here. You're a legend.
01:41My story is all the families, all what affected my life.
01:49My family is a part of me. I'm part of them. We are community.
