Eric Zaslow
Central Representative

I have 25 years of Ultimate experience, both as player and captain, at every level of the game, and continue to play at every level -- sometimes all within the same point!

More than my own opinions, I bring to the board a creative and analytical approach to decision making, with the greater Ultimate community in mind. For example, the thought that Ultimate has to grow from its grass roots is widely appreciated. How best to spur this growth is a combination of creative ideas (junior scholarships, funding coaches, creating clinics, getting parents involved) with a strict analysis of their efficacy when allocating resources. I know the concerns and experiences of high schoolers, spring leaguers and players at the national and international level.

I am an associate professor of mathematics at Northwestern University. As an academic, I spent many years studying and reflecting upon mathematics and physics before teaching it to others. Likewise, I have been amassing experience and observations about our game for quite some time (sometimes reporting these to the newsgroup or the newsletter) and feel confident and comfortable drawing on this experience to help shape the course of our dear sport.
