My MLQ Championship Journey, Day 4
Posted on August 19, 2018 Leave a Comment
I am not alone in my manager struggles and I have never been. There are at least 15 other people dealing with the “Where’s my ride?” “Why wasn’t I rostered?” “Who is housing me?” “Why aren’t I getting playing time?” and “When is practice again?” shenanigans across the country every summer. These are just a […]

It’s not the ending I wanted, but it’s not really an ending. I’ll still be on the sidelines, watching, worrying, and screaming my heart out. (Shoutout to Vowels Photography for capturing my essence.)

I wouldn’t have seen as much of this country as I have if it wasn’t for quidditch. The traveling may be cursed sometimes — the Skrewts curse will never leave me, I swear — but the best part of reaching the destination isn’t the place, but the people I see there. Because of this ridiculous […]

This picture is why I’m here. I’ve written before about what a pessimist I am before my team plays. I thought that we’d be lucky to pull off a win against a great 3rd place team in the New Orleans Curse since we’d only brought 14 players. I was wrong. I took this during the […]

My #MLQChampionship Journey, Day 1

There are three reasons why I travel for quidditch: To go to the quidditch tournaments themselves, obviously. To see more of the country. To see my friends across the country. I had a plan today when I landed in Austin at noon. I was going to drop my stuff off at Caroline’s, play tourist, get some […]

I have bittersweet feelings about packing this jersey. I’m not a player. I’m a not a coach. I’m a manager. That means something to me. Jerseys are for people who work on the pitch. I may get shit done off the pitch… but I know I wouldn’t make the 30-player roster for this team. I’m […]
