"Whether or not athletics and sports impact the participant positively is an issue involving the opinion of the individual involved. However, in saying this, it is arguable that certain sports have the potential to teach lessons and values, possibly unattainable through other interests. Each sport will have a varying degree of messages it will impose on each player, positively or negatively. One sport in particular, Ultimate Frisbee, is breaking grounds in the world of athletics and leisure. Its somewhat controversial theme, but the vitally core value “spirit of the game” is the essence of Ultimate Frisbee, which sums up to fair-play and strong morals during play. I believe that the “spirit of the game” should be seen, not as a discrete or dismissible quality, but as the integral component throughout the varying competition levels of Ultimate Frisbee, that if emulated, may have a moral and social impact on not solely athletics, but our daily interactions as well and how we play 'the game.'"
