How To Get More Blocks in Ultimate Frisbee 

This is the mindset I’ve been trying to develop since regionals. Very helpful video. League on Wednesday isn’t going to know what hit them.

Thanks man, digging the podcast and these videos of course. Was rooting for you and Johnny at Nats, was great to see you guys dropping the hammer on teams all tournament, shame about the final but still a very dominant performance, looked like you guys had a ton of fun as well!

Mate, if you did whiteboard tutorials for basic rules (e.g forcing) playing basics and other things like that for new players, this channel would blow. Make it seven players to save the confusion, condense your dialogue and take that hat off - BOOM! You become the go-to channel for coaches and captains.

Love the whiteboard visual, very nice to look at

Excellent video. Unlucky at nationals. I was routing for you , you had an absolute STORMER. You played amazing and gave everything , you had such a good tournament. Well done, also your podcast was awesome too, i'd love more content like this . Thanks so much for everything ❤

Thanks heaps Rowan. This is my second time watching the video and it won’t be the last!

That was fun, concise and informative. Thank you. I was a bit confused with the 6 players on the field, instead of 7. But that wasn't necessary for getting the point across.

Very informative, going into the mindset of a top defender. I know that you don't have a lot of "help" in your videos, but would love some "handler" ones, how to get the pass off, but showing the defender and the cutter too! Thanks

super useful breakdown👍

Thanks Roman Very helpful video

Would love to see more defensive videos

Beau travail merci!!

Inspiring

Very interested in how that first D is set up with a video example.

that weakside handler poach 😍

Love the video, Rowan! Get that block and huck it

It's a testament to Rowan's defensive brilliance that he can reduce the game to a 6v6. This video rules, love that you made it before natties and posted after. Rowan, please confirm: did you pick off any swings as shown in the third example??

very helpful

I really like this breakdown, people really underestimate the thinking required to play defense effectively. I am curious about a couple things from this video. For scenarios 1 and 3 it seems like if you commit to it and the throw doesn't come off your offender is likely to bust deep, especially in 3 where you're basically turning your back on them to make the play. Is this something you're not worried about because your team is expecting your attempt and ready to help on D? I notice in scenario 1 you're assuming the swing cut isn't coming from the back of the stack, would that positioning change your play? As you say "I start to attack almost before my player" and I understand that's the commitment needed to make the play but doesn't it leave you vulnerable to the deep shot? As an offender if I notice you trying to make the play on the swing a few times it seems like an easy adjustment to fake that under and go deep.

Great video. For that last poach block, what’s stopping ur person from running a skinny seam up the field?

Did you get any of these blocks at Natties on vid?
