UPA Club Nationals recap from Match. Recap and thoughts on each day of play.
Match Diesel: Sarasota Recap
Thoughts.: Want to throw more effectively? Use chopsticks.
Having trouble gripping your forehand? Have you ever used chopsticks? Did you know that you can hold them in such a way--with your thumb pinching the bottom stick against your ring and pinkie--as to closely simulate holding a strong forehand?
Turnovers and the learning process...
The cardinal rule when stepping out onto the field is almost always: No turnovers. If possession is continually held, then eventually the disc will find its way into the endzone.
Thoughts.: Resets: Or, the Most Important Thing in Ultimate Frisbee
Yeah, yeah, throwing and catching. Fundamentals aside, here, let's talk about one step up--the dump. Absolutely essential as a building block for any offensive strategy (even if you Huck and Hope, you're going to make some dump-like passes to set that up at some point).
Thoughts.: Cultivating Focus
I've harped on visualization a bit here...you might be aware that focus, properly applied, can increase ability even without physically practicing. But did you know that focus can be trained, too? (There's a whole school of Buddhism devoted entirely to the pursuit of better focus, in fact. Perhaps you've heard of zen?)
Thoughts.: Lifting: the Squat (and Some Words on Practice)
The squat.
This is the simplest (and most complicated) lift you can do. It is the easiest (and hardest) lift you can perform. It is the most beneficial (and most dangerous) lift you can perform.
It is a lift you absolutely need to be doing.
