Ultimate Mobility

Ultimate training structure I recommend for the less young players 👀

Honestly this works well for everyone, but super young players often don’t recognize the need.

Here’s a general recommendation

1️⃣ Body Maintenance Session (1-3x/wk)

2️⃣ Mobility Master Session (1-2x/wk)

3️⃣ Strength/Lifting (1-3x/wk)

4️⃣ Field Work (1-2x/wk)

The amount of each of these we do depends on the individual’s goals, schedule, and whether they’re in-season, pre-season, off-season.

It also depends on if they’re making a return from injury/surgery, dealing with chronic pain, or just working to optimize their season.

The BIG key though, is the emphasis on consistent, year-round mobility work.

You might not love it, it may not be the most exciting, but I can tell you with full confidence it freakin WORKS.

If you play Ultimate and you’re dealing with aches, pains, not recovering well…there’s a very simple thing you can add in 👇

A cooldown.

It doesn’t have to be long, you don’t need to do super specific exercises.

The biggest key is do some active movement, active stretches for a few minutes.

People love their compression boots, but you can accomplish a lot of that with active movement (then supplement with the boots if you want).

You want your muscles to be contacting, to keep the blood flowing.

You might think you shouldn’t spend anymore energy after a tough workout…and you probably wanna just go home.

But this extra bit of time and energy will pay off, I promise you.

Commit 4-10 minutes to this after every intense session (longer for more intensity).

If you have trouble motivating your self to do it, start with just walking for a few minutes after you de cleat — and before hopping right into your car

Once you’re doing it consistently, then you can start getting more specific.

Focus on the areas of your body that tend to get most tight or achy. Move the joints that take on the most stress.

Use this time as an opportunity, to give some love to the areas YOU tend to have the most issues with.

When in doubt, hit hips, shoulders, ankles, knees. Big movements, use some energy.

And don’t overthink it.

A few minutes of extra work when you least feel like it can make a massive difference over the course of a season or off-season.

I don’t want you to feel the way I did about my Ultimate career.

That’s why I spend most of my time working. Reading, writing, brainstorming, creating videos, answering questions.

I know the pain of putting in the effort and still feeling like my health is a total crapshoot.

I know the fear of temporarily feeling good, but ALSO knowing it was only a matter of time before the next brutal pain or injury attack.

🥏 I was on a national champion YCC team (but couldn’t play at nationals due to an injury - not my fault for once)

🥏 I was a 1st team all-region player in 2010, despite a torn labrum in my throwing shoulder and chronic + severe hamstrings/achilles pain.

🥏 I got 2 layout D’s at nationals in 2016, when we finished 7th. But didn’t get much playing time (rightfully so) because knee and foot pain hindered my performance.

🥏 In 2017 (the year I had left shoulder surgery) I fully committed to a new training approach that prioritized mobility training.

I’ve honed my system since then and used it successfully with 100s of Ultimate players in group, private, and online settings.

And I’ve used it to maintain my own speed, power, and agility — with far less pain and fewer injuries.

This year, prepping for Masters Nationals, I felt legitimately INCREDIBLE. Despite a torn up right shoulder.

Alas, an emergency appendectomy and freak small bowel obstruction derailed the summer.

But it doesn’t bother me too much because, even after 3 surgeries in 1.5 months, I know exactly how to get back there.

And I can take you with me, if you’d like ❤️🚀

Just comment or DM me, and I’ll tell you how!

If you play Ultimate and you’ve been training, can you please take 1 minute to consider: do you feel how you want to feel? Have you made lasting progress?

Do your gains translate to the field?

It’s SO easy to stick with strategies that aren’t actually working…without realizing it.

Because it’s SO easy to make progress in the short-term — then think that’s all you have to keep doing indefinitely.

The key is making it sustainable + effective.

My Ultimate Mobility programs are more than just a set of exercises. They involve direct support and education.

They help players think about training — and themselves — differently.

The goal isn’t a quick fix, but a long-term strategy for improved health and performance.

If this sounds nice, comment or DM me and I’ll tell you more :)

PS - when thinking about your training, think about the last few months, or even the last year or two.

If you haven’t been consistent, or it has only been a couple weeks, focus on sustained consistency before jumping to change something.

If you’re an Ultimate player, the goal of your training isn’t just to raise your performance ceiling.

The goal is to help you be near that ceiling as much as possible when it matters most.

It’s EASY to see short-term gains. I want you to feel great on and off the field for the long-term.

Your training got you jacked? Amazing, but did that translate to playing better or feeling bouncier?

Your max deadlift went up? Genuinely exciting! But do you FEEL better on the field?

Can you consistently EXPRESS your top speed, max jump height, or change of direction prowess?

This might seem rich coming from a guy who just had shoulder surgery, but that was from decades of wear and tear.

Prior to this, I didn’t miss a single game due to pain or injury over the last 3 years. (Emergency appendectomy doesn’t count 😅)

And more importantly, I’ve helped 100s of Ultimate players — who had already been training regularly before they found me — feel and perform better.

I’m giving you my greatest advantage here. I’m 5’6”, almost 39, not exceptionally skilled, and have a long history of chronic pain & injuries.

My edge — which keeps me competing with much younger players — is that I can ACCESS my athleticism more often than most other players.

Two places to start:

1️⃣ 5-15 min of daily focused mobility work (I have lots of content on this you can find)

2️⃣ Treat your lifts as a tool, not the main event. They should not regularly interfere with your ability to play or practice your skills.

🥏 Comment “TRAINING” if you want help reaching and staying at your ceiling!

Sky more people in Ultimate with this mental shift 👇

Go up early and aggressively.

Care more about your effort than whether you miss or get posterized.

If you haven’t gotten GOT in the air, you’re not putting yourself out there enough.

As a 5’6” player with average wingspan, I almost always need to go up earlier than my opponent.

That means less margin for error. Less time to read the disc before jumping, more time for the wind to affect it once I’m in the air.

If I’m thinking too much, worried about being skied, or hesitating for the tiniest moment, I probably won’t get the disc.

At Pro Elite Challenge last year, I *slightly* hesitated to go up for a disc in the end zone.

It got tipped away at the last second, as I went to close my hand on it.

That moment popped into my head last night, and kept me awake. It physically hurt to think about. It’s not congruent with who I have been as a player.

I’ve been jumping well the last couple years, despite some injuries and my advancing age.

But in the last couple weeks before surgery, something REALLY clicked. Mentally, I felt like I was 20 again.

There’s an incredible power to creating conditions in your mind that allow you to fully express your skills.

I can’t wait to be back on the field.

In the meantime, I’ll be sharing some more specific jump training content.

And considering a Jump/Power training webinar. Who’s interested?? Lemme know 👇

PS - of COURSE there are times when a box out, feint, or waiting on the disc can give a better likelihood go getting it. Gotta know yourself, your opponent, & read the moment.

I didn’t want to do this 🙃

I had four coaching/consultation calls yesterday. And four training sessions with clients today.

Plus many hours of additional non-session work (the majority of my work now). And a bunch of fitful, painful sleep.

Every task of the day takes more mental and physical energy than usual as I recover from shoulder surgery.

The constant discomfort ceaselessly leeches energy.

As a hit late afternoon on Friday, my brain and body are just about tapped out.

But I have important goals:

👉 I want to practice what I preach, be a role model to my clients and family, and share my process.

👉 I want to be skying and flying all over the field again as soon as possible.

👉 I want to be as healthy and resilient as possible.

So while I could’ve zoned out for five minutes as I waited for my ride, I pushed — safely — against the resistance and did something extra, even if it wasn’t perfect.

These little decisions, and inputs, accumulate overtime. They help make us who we are.

PS - I’m so grateful to do what I do, and have such wonderful clients. I would not be doing nearly as much mobility work and other training if I wasn’t coaching these awesome people ❤️

PPS - knowing when you need to rest is also incredibly important. Taking time off is necessary. I hope you are encouraged to do positive things for yourself more often than not, rather than discouraged by what you feel you “should” be doing. It’s okay (and normal) to not feel motivated or energized by your training sometimes.

Thank you for following along :)
