“Frisbee provided me with a safe and healthy environment.”
Lindsay
“The stress and pressure of competitive cross running created an unhealthy environment for me in high school and college. Shortly after, I began playing Frisbee on a non-competitive women’s team and this provided a safe and healthy environment. Here I found happiness and acceptance for who I truly was. Now, I’m a teacher and Frisbee coach. I teach Frisbee to students of diverse backgrounds in Chennai as part of an after-school program. Frisbee has instilled in me the confidence to teach and pass on to others what the sport has given to me.”
“Though we come from separate backgrounds, we can still be friends.”
Box
“When I started playing Frisbee, I felt that the English-speaking players dressed in fashionable clothes come from families that are very different to mine. I felt like they wouldn’t talk to me. Once we started playing, we also started talking, and I realised that though we come from separate backgrounds, we can still be friends.”
