Mike, Kins, and Quinn talk ultimate, life, and whatever comes to mind from a coach and player perspective.

  1. 2D AGO

    Elliot Hawkins, AlleyCat, Club Breakout Player of the Year | Ep 117

    At just 19 years of age, Elliot Hawkins was named Club Breakout Player of the Year. He led Bravo in goals and assists as a rookie (12G/15A/2D). This offseason he decided to sign with the Indy AlleyCats where he'll get to play with his 2 older brothers. Indy has made a big splash since Coach/GM Nathan Bussberg took the team over. We brought Elliot on to spill the beans on Indy's new leadership and big signings. We also talk about what it's like to be recruited as a free agent as pro ultimate continues to evolve, the mindset shift between pro and club, what motivates players, weighing the importance of spending time being physically present with your teammates, and, of course, we get a little update on our Birdies as they begin their season with eyes on a championship.More from Pod Practice:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podpractice_podYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@podpractice_podEmail: show@podpracticepod.comUltimate Mobility Membership: https://www.skool.com/ultimate-mobility/about?ref=1ac6179a76464cf892a7347232df540eBuy Tokay Cleats: https://tokay-ultimate.com/podpracticePod Practice Store: https://ko-fi.com/podpractice/shopGreatest Bags: https://www.greatestbag.com/Use promo code: PODPRACTICE10 for 10% off your Greatest Bag OrderPod Practice BE Ultimate Store: https://shop.beultimate.com/collections/pod-practice-podcastDownload The Playbook: https://betterthanever.beultimate.com/the-playbook-infoShop BE Ultimate: https://beultimate.com/Kikko Socks: https://kikkosocks.com/Use discount code: POD15 for 15% off your next order.

    Fury's Flat Side Offense with Shayla "Dozer" Harris | Ep 116

    Today’s episode is all about offense with Fury standout, Dozer (Shayla Harris). Specifically attacking from the flat side of the field. You might also hear team’s call it the “wide side” or “big side.” We talk about why it’s important, how it’s different form the trap side, and Dozer educates us on how Fury attacks that part of the field. We also talk about spacing, challenges, different approaches, and read progressions. Dozer also asks us some questions about the “force back” defense that we’ve been known for in a little bonus segment. It’s a visual episode so we suggest watching it if you can. Let us know if you want more episodes like this. Reach out with questions. We’re looking to offer some services for 2026 and beyond. This episode is presented by Kikko Socks.

    Euro Tour ++, Identity, Winning, Partying, Bonds | Ep 114

    Sorry for the delay posting to Spotify and other platforms. We'll be back soon in the New Year. Mike and Stef get a little meta and talk about identity as players, coaches, media, and podcasters. We also debate the prioritization of winning, swap stories of our 2025 bromance, and discuss what European frisbee does so well than has been lost in the US. We’ve been taking more of a holiday break than expected, because Mike has been in Europe since his birthday. Regular scheduled programming when (if) he comes back.

    Daan De Marrée, US & European POTY | Ep 113

    Daan De Marrée is back to back European Champion with Mooncatchers and the 3 time reigning European Player of the Year. Now, after a run to finals with Machine, he is also the US Club Player of the Year, and the first player to be awarded POTY by Ultiworld in both Europe and the US. His stat line at US Nationals: 20 goals, 24 assists, and 4 blocks without turning the disc over a single time. A 20/20 Nationals performance is unheard of. To do it without a single turnover on a finals team is just mind boggling.At just 24 years old, Daan has a lot of pressure on his shoulders. He's already has more experience dealing with pressure than most 15 year veterans. Now, being widely considered the best player in the world, the spotlight on him is that much bigger.We talk to Daan about what that pressure feels like, how he deals with it, and what makes him so unique as a player.Since recording the episode he also helped lead Belgium to a silver medal finish at WBUC.More from Pod Practice:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podpractice_podYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@podpractice_podEmail: show@podpracticepod.comUltimate Mobility Membership: https://www.skool.com/ultimate-mobility/about?ref=1ac6179a76464cf892a7347232df540eBuy Tokay Cleats: https://tokay-ultimate.com/podpracticePod Practice Store: https://ko-fi.com/podpractice/shopGreatest Bags: https://www.greatestbag.com/Use promo code: PODPRACTICE10 for 10% off your Greatest Bag OrderPod Practice BE Ultimate Store: https://shop.beultimate.com/collections/pod-practice-podcastDownload The Playbook: https://betterthanever.beultimate.com/the-playbook-infoShop BE Ultimate: https://beultimate.com/Kikko Socks: https://kikkosocks.com/Use discount code: POD15 for 15% off your next order.

    Mac Hecht, Revolver, National Champion | Ep 111

    Throwbot (and self-proclaimed cutter), Mac Hecht, joins to talk about Revolver's return to the top. Mac joins a long line of incredibly talented throwers like Ashlin Joye, Robbie Cahill, and Bart Watson to help lead Revolver to a title.Mac has been one of the most skilled throwers in the game since he was at Brown. He's hyper aware and humble about some of his limitations, but there's nobody you'd rather have with the disc in their hands. His combination of skill, ability to read defenses, and ability to execute quickly make Throwbot deadlier with the disc than any other model on the market.We ask Mac what he's looking for when he dissects defenses off the pull and dive deeper into sequencing pull plays throughout a game. We learned a lot this episode.

    Levke Walczak, Brute Squad, 2x National Champion | Ep 110

    Levke Walczak joins to talk about upsetting an undefeated Fury team to win her second USAU National Championship with Boston Brute Squad. Levke was one of the first European players we've seen having sustained dominance in the US Club scene. In her first season with Brute it was far less common to see European players with big roles on US teams. Today it wouldn't be surprising to see multiple Europeans on the podium for Player of the Year across all divisions. She talks about the importance of believing, especially when you're down, her teammates, the emotions of competition, and we even breakdown a little film.More from Pod Practice:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podpractice_podYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@podpractice_podEmail: show@podpracticepod.comUltimate Mobility Membership: https://www.skool.com/ultimate-mobility/about?ref=1ac6179a76464cf892a7347232df540eBuy Tokay Cleats: https://tokay-ultimate.com/podpracticePod Practice Store: https://ko-fi.com/podpractice/shopGreatest Bags: https://www.greatestbag.com/Use promo code: PODPRACTICE10 for 10% off your Greatest Bag OrderPod Practice BE Ultimate Store: https://shop.beultimate.com/collections/pod-practice-podcastDownload The Playbook: https://betterthanever.beultimate.com/the-playbook-infoShop BE Ultimate: https://beultimate.com/Kikko Socks: https://kikkosocks.com/Use discount code: POD15 for 15% off your next order.
