Unlike the majority of the other candidates, the region I
grew up in didn't have a youth ultimate program. I was
thrust into the competitive Ultimate scene my freshman year
of college, and quickly excelled. When I transferred to
Washington State University, the team had only 4 returning
players and was in a substantial rebuilding phase. I helped
coach the team, and led us to our first Regional's
appearance in the schools history. The following year (2012)
we built off of that success and again earned a bid to
Regionals, going 4-4 and taking 8th overall. While our team
doesn't have the accolades of some of the others, the
improvement we have made these past few years has been
remarkable.
I am the tallest player on the team, and always guard the
opposing team's best players. I am always in when the game
is on the line, and I thrive in those situations. I have
trained harder than anyone else to ensure I am prepared for
anyone I face, and it is shown in every game I play. My
teammates urged me to run for the Callahan award, and being
my senior season, I accepted their nomination. The WSU
broadcasting department helped film our spring season and
created two videos for their TV series. The first video
shows some of my training, and some of the highlights we
took. The second is a documentary that encompasses my brain
injury as well as other aspects of my college career. (Hence
they are quite different than the traditional videos)
Thank you,
Dayne Meyer

The documentary is really worth watching. Well done and
tells a great story. Don't know him or his team at all but I
really enjoyed it. Would love to have Callahan videos be
more than highlight videos and more like this. Great to hear
the backstory and learn more about Dayne. 6'4 and 200?
Somebody get this guy on a good club team!

I want to dislike you and think you're a douche for making
your own highlight/doc/pitch, but I can't. You seem like a
stand-up guy. Good luck!

My teammates posted the videos to reddit and a few other
sites; I've never done anything like this before so I didn't
know the protocol. Wasn't trying to gloat, just saw all the
other guys' posts listing their accomplishments. Thanks
though guys, I appreciate it.

Your gym workouts are the most impressive part of the video
(that and playing through all those injuries). Very few
ultimate players can hit those numbers.
