Learning how to layout in ultimate frisbee can be mentally daunting. It goes against all of our instincts of self-preservation to dive on solid ground. That's why we need a progression to ease us into laying out.
Most of the frisbee players I've spoken to who are hesitant to layout have an exaggerated idea of how much it's going to hurt. This progression is designed to help you discover that laying out isn't painful at all (on wet ground) if executed properly. On dry ground, you're likely to get turf burn or get otherwise scraped up wherever exposed skin contacts the ground.
But as far as the fear of impacting the ground goes - try to open your mind to the idea that it's not going to hurt that much once you have better technique.

It's a mental battle of getting the disk vs getting slightly hurt

@Velixity. Год назад

Does it hurt a lot? Cause I want to learn it

@justinjx3 Год назад

@@Velixity. Not if you do it correctly. Might get scratches on your arms and legs from scraping the ground.

As someone who is suddenly facing the potential of being on the A team for college frisbee, these videos are amazing. I got a lot of watching and training to do, but I found the drive. Still have to get the drive to layout

You'll get there sooner than you think!

This applies with all sports really. Same fundamentals no matter what your diving for. Deserves a like.👍🏻

Fun video, thanks! Also... Harvest :) Anyway, I think it's worthwhile mentioning the segment on initially learning to land on your stomach (around 3:00) while using your arms and hands to "catch" your transition should be specific to that portion only. Catching yourself with your arms in that manner on a regular layout is recipe for shoulder or wrist injuries. On a similar note (around 6:20), I think people really should focus more on making an effort to land on their front, even if it's a single arm reach (it'd be more easily achievable if they get used to superman-ing their layout to start). It only takes a slightly wrong angle upon landing to tweak your shoulder if one starts to rotate their body (i.e. not rotating enough). This becomes doubly crucial if you have someone else also making a bid who can add just enough force to your body to cause injury. It seems you may have developed a natural tendency to land on the meatier side of the anterior part of the shoulder/back but may not come so naturally to others. Generally speaking, the area between the chest down to the quads should take the brunt of the impact in order to protect from arm injuries. Aside from catching, the arms are tools for balance with minimal load-bearing along the way. Keeping the body as square as possible throughout the progression would be safest approach to minimizing injury along the way. Open to hearing your thoughts on this!

Ya Harvest!! Great points dude! For sure if people can land squarer that's ideal. I've probably unintentionally taught a slightly more advanced way to lay out (and catch with one hand to get every last inch of reach) and it would be great for people to be laying out squarer and catching with two hands. Not gonna lie, many of my more intense layouts have actually been two hand catches esp if it's raining or there's a lot of speed on the pass.

i thought people would look at grown men rolling in the mud weird but then i saw a guy with a full weight bar doing exercise at the basketball hoops in a park okay

@AnneCandy27 2 года назад

I just joined a beginner league and attempted to layout for, not one, but TWO DISCS! For both, I ended up putting all the impact to my knees. So much adrenaline and feeling good, aftermath however... I'm in so much pain should've watched this before

@Gameboob Год назад

Really great progressions given in this video. Just thought there should be a little more mentioning of safety... Know that you can injure yourself if you don't land properly and there's no rush in learning each progression. Give your body time to toughen up to take this impact. Give it a few months or longer if you're not used to this much impact around your torso and shoulders and especially if you aren't as muscular (which holds your body together better than being scrawny or chubby). Also please take off your jewelry and watches. Looks like Miles has a watch on... (It's common to land on your palms or forearms.)

@ryanlowe6243 Год назад

These are all fantastic points! In the 4 years since recording this, my body has become more fragile with age, and so Gameboob's comment is that much more relevant. Thanks

great!!

lol I need a friend like this, very helpful video though

I've had bad experiences smashing my balls when I lay out. Now I instinctively protect my balls by having my knee/thigh be the first point of contact. But I think this can also have bad side effects. Have you ever heard of people wearing cups in ultimate? I've often wondered if it would help my layout technique.

@ryanlowe6243 5 лет назад

You're right about the bad side effects of knee-on-ground as the first point of contact. Years ago I laid out on really soft ground and my knee plugged into the mud - which you would think would have been fine but it was bad for months after that. I try to absorb most of the impact with my chest and stomach now. As for wearing a cup - go for it. Or at least maybe wear one until you can break your habit of nutting yourself or putting your knee down first! I also know guys who wear compression tights when they play. Maybe those would keep the goods in place a bit better, and hopefully out of harms way.

@lvke3691 21 час назад

How do u mentally over come laying out. I can do it in a park, but as soon as it comes to a game i just cant.

@ryanlowe6243 14 часов назад

That's interesting that you can lay out in the park but not in a game. It sounds like you've figured out how to do it, but is it that there are more people watching you in a game (and so more performance pressure)? If that's the issue, I'd suggest practicing layouts with your team present (before the game, and after).

@kingdos2677 5 лет назад

Is it normal that when you layout it hurts?

@rykelo8 5 лет назад

Yes, it usually hurts a bit. Less so on wet ground, and way more on dry surfaces. Try your first layouts at the beach in shallow water, or on a real grass field in spring when the ground is wet and soft. Eventually your technique will improve and your layouts will hurt less. The glory is well worth the pain!

@josiahjadebegafria8956 4 года назад

Lol, always.

@joshcamp25 4 года назад

The faster you're moving the more you will slide and the less it will hurt. Sliding takes away a lot of the direct impact force. And running at high speeds you're making quick decisions so it becomes impulse and you get used to it.
