(Part 2) Top products from r/ultimate

a1) correct. Dribbling is a subset of give and go, however it is much more refined, purposeful and deliberate. To the untrained eye, it just looks like a give-go, dominator offense but that's really missing the nuance of it.

a2) Through my eyes, quick moving offenses are still extremely inefficient. They may have an occasional give/go, but it doesn't look particularly well intended. Dribbling provides an extraordinary amount of leverage and with leverage comes power. I simply don't see any team that is able to take advantage of any leverage they're able to apply. Does this make sense? I'm not asking if you agree, just whether or not this explanation makes sense.

b1) Explain to someone who doesn't know the meaning of sweet, what sugar is. It doesn't matter if you're the world's foremost authority on sugar, you still can't explain it. Nor can you use reason to get the job done. The only way for you to convey what sugar is to a person who doesn't know the meaning of the word sweet is to have them experience it.

I'm very frustrated as well, but I could explain this till I turn blue, it still won't make much sense until you learn the O.

b2) I don't decry prominent figures in Ultimate. AngryElf? Great guy, lovely wife, beautiful kid; mediocre frisbee player. This isn't personal, it's business. Nutt? Nethercutt reminds me of what Ultimate players were in the 35 years ago. He's a great guy, extremely respectful and as a person, I think he's phenomenal. As an ultimate player, he's not even begun to live up to his potential. There's nothing offensive about this.

Please don't take offense to my posts, I'm not trolling for attention, I just want to revolutionize the game.

c1) Not true, on both counts. My clinics come with instruction and without the abrasion. Coming soon to a town near you....

d1) Fair enough. I'd suggest starting here.

I proudly own this CD and used to play it at every tournament. People loved it/hated it/had to go along with it:

Buggin' (as performed by Bugs Bunny on "Space Jam") is a real masterpiece as well (for about 30 seconds): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRNezSn1R3I

Best value we came across was an Open Box discounted Sony 4K camera for $649 (online says open box is $679 but in the store it was $649). Looks and works as a brand new camera would. Allows for great zooming on edits, and slow motion quality. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/sony-handycam-ax33-4k-flash-memory-camcorder-black/2948053.p?skuId=2948053&extStoreId=&ref=212&loc=1&ksid=3008cb63-eb76-4494-aa63-2fd6f0647127&ksprof_id=14&ksaffcode=pg174433&ksdevice=c&lsft=ref:212,loc:2

Combine it with the telescoping poll and connector mount with links below and you're set. PS you'll probably need a quality computer to edit the footage and certain programs can edit and export 4K while others cannot yet. It also takes up a lot of data and are large uploads so you'd need large memory cards and quality internet upload speed.

You could purchase/rent portable floodlights (something like this), but that would be expensive (not including generator) What we used to do is find a field that already has artificial light and then play on it's adjacent field. The field wasn't as nice, or as big, but there's usually enough spillover light to make playing feasible. Otherwise, find a local school and rent their gym for indoor. good luck

This whole thing reminds me of a great documentary I once saw about semipro mens fastpitch softball.
http://www.amazon.com/Fastpitch-Darren-Zack/dp/B00005J75U

It's got all the same storylines, an owner who wants to change the game, marginally real jobs for players, room and board provisions, heroes, villains, undergdogs, all ultimate needs to complete the story is a team comprised solely of First Nation drug and alcohol abstinence advocates.
Highly recommend it. Highly recommend it to the players on the Roughnecks as well.

I'm sure there are a bunch of people that would be willing to do their best at answering whatever questions you have on here. Obviously, coaching is complex and there are rarely easy or obvious answers.

As for books, the books that I'd recommend these days:

[The Art of Learning] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Art-Learning-Journey-Performance/dp/0743277465)

[The Inner Game of Tennis] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/0679778314/?tag=googhydr-20&hvadid=40113434767&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4260322089310012087&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_8mdnpg1nf9_b)

[10 Minute Mental Toughness] (http://www.amazon.com/10-Minute-Toughness-Training-Program-Winning/dp/0071600639/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1426395408&sr=1-1&keywords=10+minute+mental+toughness)

[Wooden on Leadership] (http://www.amazon.com/Wooden-Leadership-Create-Winning-Organization/dp/0071453393/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1426395634&sr=1-3&keywords=john+wooden)

The best way to teach people how to throw is to have them practice throwing as hard and far as they can (play a bunch of guts basically), rather than doing the isolated wrist flick routine for months. Once they know the grip and basic release (the occasional refresher is good), new players need to learn how to use their whole body to generate power, clean up their release, adjust for the wind, and maintain balance. Precision is easier to learn after learning power than learning power after precision is.

Based on personal experience/observation and reading about Driveline baseball's approach (detailed in depth in this book).

This book has a ton of great exercises and drills: https://www.amazon.com/Training-Speed-Agility-Quickness-3rd-Brown/dp/1450468705/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1472916169&sr=8-1&keywords=training+for+speed+agility+and+quickness-3rd+edition

A couple of quick ones that I'd recommend (just google):

• Get-up Sprints
  
  
• Falling start sprints
  
  

Oh man, I don't like that article very much at all.

> A balanced program means that you’re not training the front of your body more than the back or the upper part of your body more than the lower.

I think this is nonsense. Training your chest and back are different. Training your upper and lower body are different. Different body parts respond differently to volume.

One example I can think of: The general consensus in the strength training community is to format your pushing/pulling at a 2:3 ratio. You need to do more pulling volume than pushing volume because your back is used in more lifts/natural movements than your chest/shoulders.

Another example: Schwarzenegger said in his Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding that it took him forever to realize that his arm with effectively 60% tricep and 40% bicep (bro science is real science sometimes I guess) and that he should train them with a 3:2 ratio triceps:biceps as well.

> 4 Parts – knee, hip, push, pull

This part really gets me. Calling squats a knee exercise and deadlifts a hip exercise is like calling an 8 course meal "salad".

> Push:

>Anything that looks like a bench press or a pushup

The main pushing movement for sports like ultimate should be Overhead Press because it requires alignment and strengthening of the entire posterior chain.

I also think using lunges as a main movement the same way we use squats/press/deadlifts is silly. Sure, lunges work some very important muscle groups and you definitely do lunges in ultimate as a part of the sport, but training them the same way you train squats/deadlifts is setting yourself up for injury. Lunges should be used as a volume exercise imo.

I would put in my votes for The Art of Learning and the Inner Game of Tennis as well.

Also, The Power of Habit is a fantastic book...specifically the section talking about Tony Dungy's coaching style and how it was all about developing habits so the players could execute them without thinking. But you need them to believe in what you are doing too. That's a big thing.

Winning Ugly: Mental Warfare in Tennis is the best book on thoughtful approach to sports competition that I know.

There's also a book on coaching ultimate by some pretty big names

I would by a buy a body (canon) and an entry level telephoto 75-300mm usm. I would start out cheap like I did and then buy better lens once you get a hang of it. Here is some pictures I have taken so far with that lens: photos

I’ve never found any gloves that helped with cold without making playing more difficult.

What I do instead is get a football style an pouch with a pocket for hand warmers and keep my hands in there during breaks. This has been the best outcome (warm hands/ no sacrifice in grip or catching) for me and more durable than gloves.

washable paint maybe?

Other than the classic 175g ultimate disc, you could grab one of these throwing rings from Aerobie, I believe it still holds the world record for being the farthest object thrown by a human.

I think this is actually the Vise-Grips Locking Wrench Catch of the Day, not Friction Gloves.

You should read "The Blank Slate" by Steven Pinker.

I used this to recover from a pretty nasty ankle dislocation.

i hate bulky rigid braces. http://www.amazon.com/McDavid-Elastic-Ankle-Brace-Medium/dp/B0000AU1ZL/ref=sr_1_3?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1380806234&sr=1-3&keywords=mcdavid+ankle

these guys got me through recovery and prevented a lot of rolls on the craggy field i play pickup on.
