Episode notes
Local Density Fueled Revolver's Edge
- Revolver's density (many players living and practicing together) created a competitive advantage through extra reps and shared tendencies.
- Those added repetitions accelerated pattern recognition and execution more than isolated practice would have.
Handler Backgrounds Shape Playmaking
- Many top handlers began as primary throwers on less skilled teams, which taught them to control tempo and reclaim the disc.
- That background makes them excellent at creating advantages and reconnecting with downfield cutters.
Iterate Plays Rapidly In Practice
- Study plays repeatedly and diagnose why they fail, then iterate quickly in practice to improve them.
- Use coaches and reps to gather small data points and refine tendencies until they become reliable in games.
