Journal #2

A little over halfway through last semester, I was made the captain of the Ultimate Frisbee team here at TCU. I became captain just in time to be in charge for the biggest tournament of the year.  And even working to bring together a team which had worked together all year was not easy.  And now as we are trying to incorporate and teach freshman into the team, the task has become even more complicated.  I am only trying to bring 30 or so people together from one community, I cannot imagine what it was like to bring together 13 separate colonies each with thousands of people to believe and concentrate on one cause. And just as I use non verbal communications in the form of emails and text messages to effectively communicate to my team, revolutionists used their most effective forms of written word, newspapers and pamphlets that could be produced in mass and spread throughout the colonies to let everyone know what was happening.  This allowed everyone to be involved in the movement as my emails allow everyone to know when practices and tournaments are.
