The Fuel Cell System
The fuel cells are
essentially conglomerates of players joined together for the sake of pushing
each other to work out. Dartmouth Ultimate captain Adam “Seigs”
Sigelman ’05 stole the idea for the fitness cells from his fellow
teammates Seth Wolcott and Mikey Lee on the infamous LoG club team. In the
summer of ’04, Seigs and co-captain John Agan ‘05split the A-team
tryouts into four fintess cells. The ftiness cells morphed into the current
“fuel cells” after Agan comically referred to the fitness cells
as such on one rainy fall afternoon. Throughout
the year, the members of the fuel cells E-mail each other to keep their
fuelmates up-to-date on their physical activity. There is of course also much trash-talking,
boasting, challenges, and heckling. Fuel
cell leaders keep their fuelmates motivated and let the captains know who is
working and who is slacking. In
addition, during mandatory A-team workouts and practices, players “pick
up” their fellow fuelmates that are absent. For example, if a fuelmate misses team
sprints, his cell will collectively run his sprints for him. The idea is that we are a team, and we are
accountable to the team for our workouts.
If one of us falls momentarily, his teammates are there to step up do
his work for him. In their first year of
existence, the four fuel cells—the Mideast, the Full House, the Red
Sox, and the Flying “Floppy” Elbows—were limited to current
A-teamers. Now, all aspiring A-teamers
and some women have been drafted onto cells.
The draft has recently been completed. An expansion cell the Sans Pantaloons has
been created. Updated cell rosters
coming soon. |
