In Part 3 of our Euro Trip Recap, Mike reflects on some unexpected special memories made with the Czech team, and jumps back to the start of his trip to highlight time spent in Brussels and getting to know the Mooncatchers.We also talk about surviving PEC with Bravo's ragtag roster where we lost 4 games on universe, won 1 game on universe, won 1 game by 2, and a lot of inside jokes were made.In the spirit of universe point games, Quinn also recaps Summit's back to back OT wins in Seattle and Portland. A playoff berth clinched, we now look forward to securing a home game with Shred coming into town on the 4th of July.More from Pod Practice:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podpractice_podYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@podpractice_podEmail: show@podpracticepod.comPod Practice Store: https://ko-fi.com/podpractice/shophttps://ultimatelendingteam.com/homeforce/https://www.facebook.com/TheUltimateLendingTeamhttps://www.instagram.com/ultimatelivingcolorado/Greatest 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.0:00 Intro2:05 Wrapping up U24s with Czech Mixed10:40 Brussels & Mooncatchers17:20 Bravo PEC East Recap30:20 Summit NW Roadtrip Recap37:40 Diagnosing our Struggles on the Road43:10 Walker Frakenberg's MVP Push46:30 Quinn Overthinking Stats48:30 Glamorous side of being a Pro Athlete50:27 Is Summit bad on the Road?52:50 Throwing at Sea Level54:32 Outro

We're catching up for lost time by dropping, hopefully, 4 episodes this week.In Part 2 of our Euro Trip Recap, we recap our experience with Tokay SuperTeam, playing against Team USA, and explain how Mike ended up coaching the U24 Czech Mixed Team. In both teams a lot of team building has to happen on the fly while navigating language barriers and differing play styles. The key is always having welcoming teammates who are open to adapting and learning as we go.We recorded this one on June 25th while Mike was still in Logrono with the U24 Czech Mixed team the evening before mixed quarterfinals. Since then Quinn & Kins went on a NW roadtrip with Summit against Seattle and Portland, and Mike flew straight to PEC East from U24 Worlds to PLAY for Bravo.More from Pod Practice:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podpractice_podYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@podpractice_podEmail: show@podpracticepod.comPod Practice Store: https://ko-fi.com/podpractice/shophttps://ultimatelendingteam.com/homeforce/https://www.facebook.com/TheUltimateLendingTeamhttps://www.instagram.com/ultimatelivingcolorado/Greatest 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.0:00 Intro1:08 Mike and Czech X19:00 Tokay SuperTeam Experience28:23 Tokay SuperTeam vs Team USA33:15 Admitting Hard Feelings, Rooting for Team USA40:08 Feelings on Missing the Bracket42:25 Shouting out Tokay SuperTeam Teammates1:03:15 Outro

At least one of us was out of the country since the end of May.In Part 1 of our Euro Trip Recap, Kins talks about his travels to Ghent, Playing with Gentle at Elite Invite, playing EBUCC with Deep Dish Discs, and his unfortunate injury before London Invite. Kins & Quinn also talk about playing with GAs and the pace of the game in Europe.Before the Euro recap, Quinn shares his perspective of flying out to College Finals to support Mamabird, and ways to relieve pressure of big moments. We're also a few weeks behind on the Summit season.

Winning a National Championship is always the goal. Especially for Colorado Mamabird. Nobody can ever take championship away from you. Mamabird fell just short of that. There's a lot that goes into building a team capable of capturing a championship. This year's Mamabird captains, Levi Tapper, Ryan Shigley, and Nanda Min-Fink reflect on the journey to finals and sift through the pain of losing to remember what made that journey, with this team, a special one.More from Pod Practice:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podpractice_podYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@podpractice_podEmail: show@podpracticepod.comPod Practice Store: https://ko-fi.com/podpractice/shophttps://ultimatelendingteam.com/homeforce/https://www.facebook.com/TheUltimateLendingTeamhttps://www.instagram.com/ultimatelivingcolorado/Greatest 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.0:00 Intro0:27 Episode Preview1:32 Fantasy Winners3:35 Feelings Post Nationals9:43 HomeForce10:20 Mamabird Coaching Staff16:40 Coach Nutt26:33 Coach LP30:32 Kikko Socks31:14 Ready to Kill or Die37:00 Season Expectations42:35 Resisting Complacency51:45 First Game vs Cal Poly SLO54:55 GREATEST BAG55:12 Quarters vs UNC Darkside1:06:22 Big Sister Bailey1:08:35 Semis vs Oregon EGO1:22:45 Finals vs Carleton CUT1:29:27 Impact of Losing in Finals1:40:50 Support from Mamabird Alumni1:47:04 Support Pod Practice1:47:41 Message for Mamabird 20261:51:22 Bonus Segment with Tip - The Real Legacy of Mamabird2:06:10 Levi's final shoutouts

In this BE Ultimate Playbook episode we dive further into the defensive side of things with Fury's Dena Elimelech. Fury's D combines heads up, smart, switching, with hard nose, grindy pursuit. Players like Dena, Shayla "Dozer" Harris, Anna Thompson, and Anna "Maddog" Nazarov have elite athleticism and field awareness. Their understanding of the most threatening spaces allows them to clog lanes, help deep, and make thrower's second guess themselves instead of putting each defender on an island and asking them to "try harder" or "run faster." At times this might lead to an uncontested goal, but the tradeoff is worth it if you're able to make the offense constantly problem solve.Fury's ability to help each other defensively is very fitting to their culture of empowering every teammate. They have an unmatched ability to squeeze out every bit of potential from their players, especially when it comes to young talent or new players to the team. New players like Sarah "Suds" VonDoepp and McKinley "Skittles" McQuaide played big points in crunch time throughout the season. Italian standout, Irene Scazzieri, also played a big role.Fury as a program is the gold standard in all of ultimate. It's easy to see why from this conversation with Dena.Pod Practice Store: https://ko-fi.com/podpractice/shopPromo Code: PRACTICEPLAYER for 40% off T-ShirtsGreatest 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-infoMore from Pod Practice:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podpractice_podYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@podpractice_podEmail: show@podpracticepod.comShop BE Ultimate: https://beultimate.com/Kikko Socks: https://kikkosocks.com/Use discount code: POD15 for 15% off your next order.0:00 Intro2:30 Anna Nazarov Heads Up D3:56 KJ Reverse Mark4:30 Fury Line Calling6:35 Dena's Experience with O/D Lines 9:40 Anna Thompson's Active Sag11:15 FM Downfield D Emphasis11:45 Single Direction vs FM13:15 High Leverage D Sideline Situation14:00 Fury Deep Help16:00 Fury Freedom to Experiment16:30 Fury Defensive Priorities20:18 Dena's Start22:50 Dozer Disruption27:00 Anna Thompson's Individual Greatness28:15 Disrupting Lanes as a Team28:50 Anna Thompson goes BIG again32:00 Learning from Kaela Helton33:33 Trading Free Passes to Stop Big Threats36:10 Toughest Challenge at Nationals38:00 Defending a Vert Stack40:20 Chemistry of Switching41:50 Tradeoffs - Getting Lost in the Poach Sauce47:33 Scandal Missed 2v1 Opportunity51:33 Improvising through Miscommunication54:25 Pressuring teams into Bad Decisions56:30 Accepting some Mistakes58:04 Kins NSFW Appreciation58:38 Pursuit on Unders 59:56 Flat Marks + Heads Up Help1:00:58 Missed Opportunity to play Heads Up1:02:57 Fury's ability to integrate new players1:04:34 Fury Pods1:06:08 Dealing with Nerves, 10/10 Would Recommend Winning a National Championship1:08:12 Feeling of Coming Together to Win
