Day 2: Fresh Fruit, Ultimate, Tequila + Tacos
When I woke up Saturday, I had no idea what an amazing day I would have. I’m staying with Victor and his family – so his parents, him and his 2 brothers and their bird who sings a lot. I love their house – it’s wide open, gets lots of sunlight and is in a [...]

I love to write and I’m so excited to be in Queretaro, Mexico coaching + playing with Malaki UFC (Ultimate Frisbee Club) so I will be blogging about my trip. There will be lots of randomness – I’m very aware and pay attention to a lot so you might think some of it is weird [...]

Today I leave for Mexico. Specifically, Queretaro. But I’ll be flying into Mexico City. I’ve known for a while that Mexico City was huge population wise and it has always impressed me how big it is. I’ve always been fascinated by numbers – I still remember how amazed I was in grade 6 when I [...]

For 2 years I’ve run a website called Ultimate Rob (www.ultimaterob.com). In that time, I’ve published roughly 50 articles and posted more than 60 videos. My goal when I started the website was for it to be the go to website for ultimate frisbee but very quickly I realized that it wasn’t feasible – both [...]

I’m reading Michael Pollan’s amazing book “In Defense of Food” and literally every page I’m learning something new about our food system, the history of public policies and why many people are more confused about food and nutrition than ever before. You will continue to see more blog posts related to health and wellness as [...]
