9 July 2016 Still pretty damn busy. I need to focus on getting in some more shred. Watched some US Open footage and it really make me want to wear the US uniforms to worlds sometime. I think that would be a good goal for me in the longer term. On that subject of videos though; watching you all shred...

Been pretty busy lately and haven't been super motivated to play. However, after watching the US Open video, I can't wait to play. Hashtag st0ked.

29 June 2016 Practice today. Had a leg workout playing soccer yesterday but wanted to practice today anyway since it only got up to 84F today. Drills: :arrow: toe op toe :arrow: ss clipper stamina drill that DB suggested. Pretty tough after my workout yesterday. Went up to five and back down, sure I...

It gets tough when you're sort of levelling out on that upward swing. You've had a pretty strong trajectory so far, so now it's realistic that you won't see so much progress so quickly. A good practice drill for clippers (alternating) is to start doing 1 clipper, then keep increasing the number (yo...

27 June 2016 Played like garbage today. I really need to find a good player to meet up with to coach me a bit. So the temp and humidity are still awful and I'm busy so practices are not often. Once or twice a week as opposed to 3-4 on my normal schedule. My form is suffering because of it. Drills: -...

Thanks! It felt good to have a guiltless sick 3.

21 June 2016 Happy summer northern hemisphere! It's been too hot for me to practice much. It's been around 90-95 F plus humidity plus concrete so I'm going to have to change my routine. Hopefully I can practice later in the evening or early in the morning. Today I drilled: -Flipside near pickup -Fli...

16 June 2016 Busy week. Had a wedding out of town so my weekend saw zero Footbag. Started officially working this week. Also got a new soccer ball and am learning how to juggle. A lot easier now that I have the base from Footbag. It's been 90's F this week so way to hot for me to practice that long....

I just recently picked up a ball to try some freestyle football stuff. Only used a size three ball to start out with and could hit Legover and orbit and some basic butterfly kicks. Not sure what you call those tricks in football but I imagine they all end in ATW

9 June 2016 I imagine I would probably be paying a lot more attention if I was still in Chile, the timing here is not great, but I will try and catch a few games over the weekend. Oh yeah, I forgot you were in Chile for awhile. Unfortunately I won't be able to watch any of the games Saturday but hop...

Did you see the recent article in The Guardian about Cincinnati FC? It's from about a month back, good read. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/may/16/fc-cincinnati-usl-record-attendances-soccer Have you been paying any attention to the Copa America Centenario? I did see that. Everyone here ...

7 June 2016 Reaper is on my favourite tricks to do, love it. Magella is correct. Nice work on the teaching gig. Thanks! Practice today: Drills: - clipper op clipper - Flipside far Legover - toe ss mirage strong side (not sure why I never really practiced this one) - tiltless strings Highlights: - ne...

5 June 2016 Felt pretty good today. I think I can declare myself back to 100%. Drills: - worked on pixie sets a little bit. Mostly just the set. Hit PLO bs and pixie op clipper bs. - worked on ss and op clipper drills - tiltless strings (New PR!!! 28 consecutive all tiltless.) :D :D :D - worked a li...

2 June 2016 Another week off to rest the right hip area. Stretches seem to be helping and I did some strengthening exercises the physical therapy guy gave me that will probably be of interest to everyone so I'll try to do a write up sometime soon. Maybe even in this post if I have time later today t...

25 May 2016 This time last year I was in Copenhagen. What a great time it was. Instead I'm in humid Kentucky. Ugh, ha. The humidity here is awful. Anyway I went to the therapy dude and he thinks I need to strengthen my core muscles to prevent injuries so planks for days. Also have some good stretche...

Distortion was amazing last year. Highlight of my time in Copenhagen!

23 May 2016 Horrible practice today. My muscles didn't seem to do what I told them to. Muscle soreness and fatigue really got the best of me this past week and I'm not sure why. Also, this may have been my worst practice in the past few months so I'm pretty frustrated. Anyway, I did get the 2 bag cl...

boyle wrote:Did you do the clipper with 2 bags as well?

Yep. Both contacts had both bags.

20 May 2016 Short practice today. Rain and (non-injury-related) muscle soreness kept it short. My intense practice from Wednesday (almost 3 hours) combined with my running yesterday caused a lot of soreness. Practiced tiltless strings pretty much the whole time. @Tjuggles, I hit osis > far Legover a...

Can you/ did you try to/ will you repeat that?

Not during the practice today, it wasn't really a focus. I'll definitely try it again in the future though.
