Patron-only video (any tier): Noah talks through the nuances of poaching in indoor ultimate – “Poaching occurs more frequently and differently compared to outdoor ultimate. I initially made this content to share with the university teams I’m coaching indoor ultimate to – specifically I wanted more people to understand the threat of players occupying or cutting towards the endzone, and show how high level indoor players recognise these threats and give up easier options to protect easy scores.”

Travis Norsen is a successful US youth coach who has inspired many with his implementation of the spread-flow approach in the youth scene. This book is in-depth whilst being easy and enjoyable to read, and I love every chapter. Diagrams are used to convey ideas flawlessly, and each chapter concludes with a “How to Train it” section.
Travis has an amazing story of introducing this new style to a traditional youth team over 2-3 years, the eureka moments they shared together, the successes they had on the field, and the trendsetting that they did in their region as more and more coaches could see the obvious benefits of this style of training and playing.
New Hive training tier patrons will also receive a free disc after their second month subscribed – new edition: RED!
