Jeffrey Landesman started playing ultimate and freestyling in 1978 as a Junior in High School in NYC. That year his team CPI (Central Park Independent) won the NY State Championships. In 1979 he enrolled as a freshman at Pitzer College in Claremont, CA. He had been recruited to play soccer but had become so obsessed with ultimate that he never showed up on the soccer pitch. Instead, Jeffrey founded the Pitzer Braineaters, a team still in existence 42 years later. He did compete in some freestyle tournaments, including Indian Summer 1979, however, his love and passion for ultimate superseded his freestyle career.
