Player Bio

Player: Josh "Sesame Street" Botti, #14

aka JB Felony

JB Felony

Age: 25

Originally from: Killumbus, Ohio

College: Ohio State

His expectations:
"I expect great things out of myself. I expect to make great plays, great moves. In my mind, I can never be good enough...It just comes with the territory of making the most of what God has given you. I'm just trying to make the most out of a blessing I was given."

How he sees his role:
"To do it all. My favorite role is to get the disc in my hands. Any way I can do that. I just like getting the disc in my hands and making a play for my team...Ever since I started playing ultimate, it just felt right. It just felt like something I loved to do. I just loved being able to entertain the crowd and to go out there and make plays happen. It was fun at the same time...I have to know a lot more about the playbook than the other players. But that goes with the territory and I love it."

His moves
: "I don't really look at other people's moves and copy them because, when I'm on the field, I'm not going to remember them. It's just something that has a lot to do with instinct and vision and all those 2 cutter aspects that you have. You put them all into a basket, and you just use them on the field and go out there and make plays."

 

The pros and cons of not getting the disc on every cut:
"The hard part has been learning to wait for my opportunity. They can't double- and triple-team me the whole game. If they do, that opens up opportunities for the other guys and, once that starts, I know I'm going to get my chance...I feel if Joe wouldn't look me off all the time, I could definitely do some damage. But it's a different situation and it's working out"

His personality:
"Off the field, I'm quiet. On the field, I'm probably the exact opposite of that. Split personality on and off the field."

His experience at the 2004 Callahan ceremony:
"I'll be back next year."

How he deals with all the attention:

"Stay humble and do everything the right way. You have to represent the team the right way...I don't mind all the attention. But it makes me hungrier. It makes me want to do bigger things."
