official beginning of frisbee tommorrow. 4 days per week, fridays off.
plan for this week:
Monday and Tuesday: Focus is footwork... whether faking / or throwing, teaching the proper pivots for new throwers. Likewise, for cutting. Planting on outside foot, and setting first steps to 'seal off' the defender...
Wednesday and Thursday: Zone intro. If it's real windy, i use a ball, and allow it to hit and roll: the goal is to force the defense to win with positioning and movement, not win because the newer throwers can't yet hit easy ones. The goal is to make the zone 'd' better before our own skills are good enought to truly challenge the 'd'
daily structure:
free throwing while i set up
offer individual suggestions as i move around
warm up run
structured throwing
dynamics
marking drill
groups of 5-7, and movements through stations with small field games (ex: endzone practice), cutting/throwing drill, scrimmage...
one day, weather permitting, will offer a prolonged scrimmage (usually 2 games of 7 a side, teams basically even)... but i prefer, early in the season, to do these on the occasional low wind day.
Me: I'll do the drills, and warm-ups, as i work on improving turnover and stride. but most of my practice is spent highlighting theme of day, and correcting individual areas... i'll run or bike or ski or roller ski everyday after practice... goal is morning lift or yoga or run everyday... we'll see how that goes. hopefully, if it stays cool here, I can still ski in the afternoon: but it's pretty quickly getting to where skiing is a morning pursuit...
this weekend, my first juggling convention. basically, 5 plus hours of juggling and unicycling. marked improvement in both. getting pretty solid with 3 clubs, better with 4 balls, and significant improvement in current unicycle issue of starting without holding on to something...
sides: the discovery science channel planet earth series is flipping amazing. the preview for eaglevsshark looks pretty funny.

"OK Justin, I'll tell him you called"
"no wait JUSTICE. JUSTICE"

Use a ball. Brilliant.
yep, that planet earth series is just short of ridiculous. watchin' that bird of paradise clean up before struttin' his stuff for the ladies was hilarious. unfortunately, i was wowed by the bird and not his potential suitors. and the baboons walking all bipedal like in the water -- makes you wonder.
