Sherri Ross
     
 
 
       Sherri Ross #7  

A veteran player who not only has the knowledge and the experience to defeat her opponents with half the effort they put into the game, she also has the drive and the power to make them sorry they ever began playing Ultimate. She tears through the fields with her crisp cuts and controls the disc as though she were operating with an invisible magical wand.

She is like Hermione from Harry Potter using her wand to play with the members of the House of Slitherin and to make them look like a ridiculous bunch, except with a disc instead of a wand. Her last name is Ross, and her first name is, to us, Sherri Ross. We call her by her first name.

Even though this tough brute plays a mean game of Ultimate, she actually resembles a delicate pink flower soaking up the sun and dancing in the spring breeze- She is not called Foxy for nothing. Sherri Ross always communicates with a soft motherly voice whether she’s at home with her little baby daughter Nicola or on the field with her team-mates during an intense game. Well, it sure is better than having a loud scary voice both on the field and at home.

Sherri even sets a good example to all competitive athletes with her extreme devotion to her sport. A few years ago, Sherri was hiking in B.C. on the weekend of the No Borders tournament in Ottawa. She felt badly for missing the first day of the tournament on Saturday therefore she took a flight that got her to Ottawa for 5am on Sunday in order to participate in No Borders. Altogether, she has two nicknames- “Foxy” and “5am”. They don’t go together but they can.

She can be called “Foxy at 5am” and it would make sense. She also showed dedication to her team last year when she gave birth to Nicola in March and was at the Ultimate tryouts at the end of April.

In conclusion, nothing will get in the way of Sherri. Not opponents, not life circumstances, not events, not the weather, and surely not the time of day. Foxy’s gonna do her thang!
