One of the common things you hear from professional athletes in any sport during their second year of playing is that the game has “slowed down”. They say they can better keep up with the other players and the action on the field. It’s a lot like learning to drive on the highway. The first … Read more
It happens when we watch Big Jerm throw a forehand. It happens when we watch Will Shusterick throw a stand still approach shot. It happens when we watch old tournament footage of Cam Todd putting. We often automatically assume that they all do those things better than anyone else in the world because they are … Read more
I’m always surprised by the number of people I run into who don’t play solo rounds. Not only do they not play solo rounds, they would rather not play at all than play by themselves. I just don’t get that. Sure, it’s fun to play with your friends. It’s fun to play in tournaments and … Read more
Don’t compare your middle to someone else’s end. That’s not the punchline to a dirty joke, those are words that all of us need to remind ourselves of every once in a while.

And in my case, if you can’t putt, start practicing! This is an exciting time here at the Mind Body Disc HQ. Things are really picking up steam around here. I won’t bore you with all of the why on this post, but let’s just say that consistently moving forward is paying off. Even … Read more
It’s always amazing to me that no matter how old we get, play continues to be an important part of a healthy life. When we were kids, we all thought anything was possible. The world had yet to beat the optimism out of us. Because of that, we did amazing things. We didn’t quit, we … Read more
Who knew that in 1938 when Fred Morrison and his future wife Lucile were playing catch with a pie tin on a beach in Santa Monica, California that they would be planting the seed for the sport that we all know as disc golf. Albert Einstein said that play is the best form of research. … Read more
