    Nationals Previews with Revolver, Johnny Bravo, DiG, and Machine
    Oct 22 2024
    Come find us at Nationals with Johnny Bravo. We've got free stickers for any subscribers. We'll also have Pod Practice Tees and Bravo Stickers for sale. This is our Nationals Preview Episode of the Men's Division. We talked to Leo Gordon from Revolver, our very own Tobias Brooks from Bravo, Tobe Decraene from DiG, and Pawel Janas from Machine. I think you're going to enjoy this one. Everyone's personality shines through. Leo is super thoughtful. Wait until you hear about Brown's Elo style player ranking system at practice. Tobias is absolutely hilarious. He comes from a frisbee family and Ring of Fire royalty. I'm proud to hear how self aware and hungry he is for a cocky 20 year old kid. Tobe is a frisbee machine. For Tobe, Frisbee is life. He lives and breathes it. Having Pawel on is like family Thanksgiving. A lot of shouting and yelling and a lot of love. We're still yelling at each other even when we agree. This will be our last episode of Season 2. A sincere thanks to anyone has tuned in over the first couple years. This is a passion project. It's a construct to hangout and talk about the sport we all dedicate our lives to. It has been incredibly rewarding to make connections in our first 2 seasons. Good luck luck to everyone competing at Nationals. See you in San Diego, and back here for Season 3.

  • Brian Nevison on Training for Ultimate | Ep 63

    Brian Nevison on Training for Ultimate | Ep 63
    Sep 27 2024
    Alex's trainer, Brian Nevison, joins us to talk about how to train for performance as an ultimate athlete. Brian has a degree in Kinesiology and has been a Strength and Conditioning Coach for a decade and a half. He has also been playing ultimate since high school. Brian walks us through what frisbee players get right and areas where we should focus more in terms of joint and tendon health. In our experience, many high level players regularly deal with tendinopathy, because they haven't built the capacity to handle the demands of practice, games, and tournaments. Brian's programming targets exactly that. His certifications include: Functional Range Strength Coach Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) Functional Range Conditioning Mobility Specialist Functional Range Assessment Specialist Licensed Kinstretch Instructor Speed and Agility Coach High School Strength & Conditioning Coach Level 1 Precision Nutrition Coach Brian's info: https://www.smilestakeyoumiles.org/ https://www.instagram.com/b_nevison Support the Pod: https://ko-fi.com/podpractice Pod Practice BE Ultimate Store: https://shop.beultimate.com/collections/pod-practice-podcast Download The Playbook: https://betterthanever.beultimate.com/the-playbook-info More from Pod Practice: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podpractice_pod YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@podpractice_pod Email: show@podpracticepod.com Shop BE Ultimate: https://beultimate.com/ Kikko Socks: https://kikkosocks.com/ Use discount code: POD15 for 15% off your next order. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pod-practice/support

    Dominator Breakdown, A look into the best Offenses in the Country - Brown BMO & DC Truckstop | Ep 62
    Sep 20 2024

    What is a Dominator? What made Brown the best offense at College Nationals in 2024? What has made Truckstop's offense so unstoppable for the last 3 Club seasons? Typically a dominator is a 3 person weave focusing on short passes and give-go movements. In this episode Alex and Mikey talk about the spaces Brown and Truck attack so well, how it differs from a classic dominator, and how they've evolved the way we think about offense.

    Pro Champs Recap, Waiting for WUC, Reset Theory Ramblings, O/D Styles | Ep 61
    Sep 10 2024
    Introducing our new Pod Practice Tees! This is a limited release. We had a really small quantity of each design printed. We'll get them listed and include a link to the store in the description once that's done. Ordering one is a great way to support the podcast. Proceeds will help us dedicate more time to create instructional content. We recorded the first part of the episode before WUC ended so we pulled that part of the recording out and decided to wait for Quinn to get back before we recap Worlds. Instead, we decided to get a little nerdy about resets. Get your pencils out... or skip to 39:25 if you're not interested. We also recap our Pro Champs tournament win, talk about bringing Grant Lindsley into the fold, answer a few listener questions about the way we play defense, what a spread offense is, and overall styles of offense/defense. Don't forget to check out our BE Ultimate Playbook Play of the Week where we discuss DIG's sidestack initiation. 0:00 - Intro 1:20 - Pod Practice Tees 5:11 - Reset Theory Ramblings 39:25 - Day 1 Pro Champs Champs 46:36 - Integrating Grand Lindsley 52:13 - Day 2 Pro Champs 56:20 - Turnover Free Semis 58:10 - Day 3, Finals 1:07:43 - Graces of Club 1:15:40 - Containing vs Getting Blocks 1:22:02 - What is Spread Offense? 1:28:35 - Previewing O/D Styles 1:32:18 - BE Ultimate Playbook Support the Pod: https://ko-fi.com/podpractice Pod Practice BE Ultimate Store: https://shop.beultimate.com/collections/pod-practice-podcast Download The Playbook: https://betterthanever.beultimate.com/the-playbook-info More from Pod Practice: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podpractice_pod YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@podpractice_pod Email: show@podpracticepod.com Shop BE Ultimate: https://beultimate.com/ Kikko Socks: https://kikkosocks.com/ Use discount code: POD15 for 15% off your next order. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pod-practice/support
