Hello dear reader,
Thank you for your support of InsideOut Ultimate over the years. Whether you’ve read every article we’ve ever posted, lit up a comments section, or just skim-read the big ones to sound knowledgeable at training, we appreciate it. We’re proud of the public service that IOU has been able to provide for the Australian Ultimate community, and to be able to enjoy and share stories about the sport we all love.
Apologies for the lack of posts in recent months. Thank you to everyone who has pointed the lack of posts out to me throughout the season, either online, on the sideline or, in one instance, mid-point - and not during a timeout or a stoppage or anything, I was actively cutting. Few things are more demoralising than your defender casually asking you about your blog while you’re trying to toast them to the endzone.
Talk about “going deep”. Yeesh.
To address this lack of posts, I’m very happy to report that Helen Epstein and Tiernan Somers will be taking over IOU as co-Editors-in-Chief moving forward. Both Helen and Tiernan are long-time contributors to IOU and are keen to keep the fire burning, please welcome them!
If you’d like to be involved in their new look operation, reach out to IOU on Facebook or email hello.insideoutultimate@gmail.com. All stories from all parts of the community are welcome - remember to check out the IOU Contributor Myths for all of the reasons why you SHOULD share your story and ideas.
Remember also that there is a very deep back catalogue of Ultimate Stories on the IOU homepage to tide you over. Maybe you’d like to start with a funny one, or learn how to throw better a week out from AUC (lol), or dive into a juicy longform opinion. Delicious.
Happy Nationals to your and your family.
