What can you do as a young (under-20) Ultimate player to ensure longevity and make sure you still have knees (and ankles, and no head injuries, and shoulders, and all that) when you're older lol?
Rowan, I've watched your videos for a long time. Thanks for all the time and effort you put in to make videos! My question: How do you make the most out of pick-up ultimate when the players you play with are not very good or experienced? Are there certain things you focus on for yourself to make it useful or engaging?
I know you did some training stuff before for off season but just wondering top five exercises/stretches with body weight or a bar for ultimate all year round?
Rank your most favorite form of ultimate to least favorite including full field outdoor, indoor mini, goaltie, beach, any anything else I might be forgetting. Which of the less traditional fields/way of playing has helped you achieve the most success in club/pro?
A pro player I know introduced me into throwing into a driving net or soccer net. Each throw just a full force rip trying to finish in the direction you want the disk to go. I think it helped me a lot!
People always talk about Chris Paul in basketball being the "point god" and someone who has an extremely high game IQ. Who in your career would you say has the highest game IQ you've seen?
