Dublin Coaching & Skills Clinic

Sion "Brummie" Scone tells us about how the ESC in Dublin went down.

Recently, Daniel "Colonel" Furnell and I headed to Dublin to work with the next generation of Irish players and coaches. Following my interview with Mark Earley on Ultimate Interviews, I was approached by David Rickard, President of the Irish Flying Disc Association (IFDA), in March with the idea of running a version of the Elite Skills Clinic in Ireland at some point.

GB Throwing Regime

Sion "Brummie" Scone divulges the throwing routine that GB Open started using back in 2011. 

Last year, Dan "Colonel" Furnell and I put our heads together in order to come up with a throwing routine that we felt stressed the most important throws; having spent the previous two years teaching throwing skills to GB Open, we took the bits from Burruss' KFT  that we found most useful, added/tweaked a little (including some of Wiggins' Zen Throwing), and split into four chunks to make it easier to fit them in before or after other practices or fitness sessions. Each should take in the region of 20 mins, probably slower the first few times you try them until you know the routines.
