Shawn Huynh

Player #21 (2014, 2017), #0 (2018)

Shawn has a lot of experience with Ultimate, and it shows.  He is one of those rare players who has had enough time on the field to have a good opinion on how thing should work, but still wants to try new things and develop as a player.  Shawn’s dedication often has him hosting his own mini-practices on the side, and he’ll spend hours tossing after games.  His enthusiasm for practice is a model every player should aim for, in any sport.  At time of writing he’s almost developed a full squat, and if you know Shawn, you know that’s something.

Comments from Shawn’s teammates:
Shawn loves the sport like no other. Always eager to learn, always ready to throw, always watching videos and reading articles. His enthusiasm for the sport is infectious. He’ll go far out of his way for his team, always there when you need him. Secure in his talents and knowledge, he’s ready to play whatever role the team needs him in at HUNDO-P (one hundred percent)!!

When Shawn is off the field his positive attitude and analysis of the plays and game are a model for the team. His sense of time is … unique…last to show up but first to be throwing!

“Shawn stop saying HUNDO-P.”

“You can always count on Shawn to really try to be on time and to drive really fast when he’s not.”

“A surprising and soothing baritone!”
