How can you not root for this guy? So motivated, so driven, so inspirational, so great.

[@thedailystride5407]

+DGweekly He's also a genuinely good person. I met him and told him great work this year and he shook my hand and asked me my name and said thanks for watching. Big fan here.

arctic waddle it's been a year. Did you ever lose your virginity?

[@awkwarditaliangirl8419]

Because I always root for the underdog XD which he is not!

@@awkwarditaliangirl8419 I usta root for underdogs...then I grew as a person. I now root for excellence and those who exemplify excellence.

[@xanderzaretzit296]

Mr. Mcbeth, and I say that out of respect, has revealed a one of a kind view of not only himself as a champion but also of the entire sport of disc golf. I'm newer to the sport (started a year ago) and this half hour doc revealed a lot of parts to the game that no one talks frankly about such as the backache and pulled muscles that pros not only get but play through as well. I also though it was so humanizing to see someone that so many people look up to claim to have problems socially and yet still put forth an effort to tell people that it's alright to approach him and talk as equals. I don't have a Facebook page, I'm not someone people know, and im sure im not someone people talk about, but after watching this video I feel like people have a great role model to show them the future of humanity in the modest form of Mr. Paul Mcbeth. Thank you, sir, and if I ever have the dubious pleasure of meeting you, I would be an honor to shake your hand. C.J.R.D.

[@buddatello]

The fact that this is 7 years old and he just won his 6th really kinda screams goat

[@BobbySlackem-fd1uh]

Climo has 12

[@scottlee9428]

What a truly inspirational documentary. I liked Paul before watching this, and I absolutely love the guy now. His view on the fans and being a role model are something everyone can learn from. He's a great disc golfer, but an even better person.

[@MrReyman922]

Excellent documentary, wish it included the USDGC at Winthrop this past season when Paul completed the first ever Grand Slam! I followed Paul everyday during that week, talk about a focused and composed athlete. It was a great week, even though it rained so much. At 54 I just started playing about two years ago and watching this young man was inspiring. He along with the other competitors on the card make it look easy. I look forward to seeing Paul again at Winthrop in 2016. Hopefully he'll repeat the Grand Slam!

[@KiDCuDiDaBesT]

I can't tell you how many times i have watched this video. So inspirational, great before a big tourney.

[@erickjanich6800]

Kwame didn't you play in NBA? And do you play disc golf?

[@LG-zn3lf]

Erick Janich that’s obviously not his real account

[@teemutalikainen]

L G And he was obviously joking

[@natedsamuelson]

The phrasing in that quote is so thought provoking. "I hate losing. I have a bigger hate for losing, than a passion for winning." I think it lends itself better to a sport like disc golf. When you have that desperation to win its like you're grasping for it. And we all know how those days on the course feel. But for some reason harboring hate for losing seems to inspire a sense of calm execution. It's a desire versus a refusal. That sense of rebellion against loss appeals to me. It almost creates the aura of an antihero.

[@shizachico1063]

natedsamuelson it’s the same in any individual sport. Before disc golf I raced mx and it was the same way. It’s that fear that drives and defines you and makes you better

[@tychojoe]

Epic DG documentary lives up to its name. Will be one of those films that rewards being watched once every few years for the next few decades!

[@tommyboy4835]

World champion training at its best! GOAT!! Love to watch Paul play to this day 2022’

[@fatthor1844]

I took my 8 year old son to the 2017 Nick Hyde Memorial. All he wanted was to see Paul play and get his disc signed. Paul couldnt have been nicer. Made a little boy's year. Great guy.

[@maxtirk5656]

The Freaking Goat and it is 2023!!! We new Paul from day one!!

[@frankiewawa]

Excellent job to everyone who was involved in creating this documentary. This is the greatest thing I have ever seen!

[@Geo00980]

The thing that I love about this Documentary is that it has interviewing (maybe a little too much but still great lol) and I like that it also has the hotel room and just normal interactions before a round and stuff like that and when he's in the bathroom just talking and stretching. Overall amazing!!!

[@brionlamar5718]

This is one of the best disc golf video productions I have seen. I really appreciate Paul's authenticity and vulnerability. Thanks for putting this out there!

[@edwardpenprase4722]

Thank you SpinTV for presenting and Epic DG Films for creating this inspiring documentary about Paul McBeth!!!

[@isidrogonzalez8092]

Great job. Thank you for doing this. There is not another athlete with all the attributes that Paul has in any sport. I'm glad he's around to represent the sport in such a remarkable manner.

[@UltraShockk]

Just made me have so much more respect for our 4x world champ. Awesome documentary.

[@alanbauchop6291]

A great ambassador for disc golf, and a great inspiration to be your best. Thanks Paul!

[@Scott_AI5EF]

Stellar! This is 27 minutes of perfection!

[@johnmays8817]

Paul is one of the biggest reasons people want to play disc golf. He is the role model that shows the way forward

[@TheMonkeyMedicine]

Great role model. I'm 50, have been playing for a few years, but this video is about way more than disk golf. Thanks Paul.

[@Apaolino21]

This was great! Slow mo with the rain drops... Beautiful! Very well done.

[@jeremiaskalliokoski2702]

Man how different Gibson looked versus nowadays

[@moraleskush420]

Dude this is classic I grew up playing baseball and now play disc golf full time too. I feel like a lot of the muscle memory that is associated with baseball can be easily transferred to disc golf

[@jaminschmitt]

Now that Wysocki is the new world champion this year I can't even image Paul's work ethic for 2017.

[@MaximDrums]

Fast forward to 2020... 5 time!

[@dealiyo]

It's time for a newer edition of this! Still Greatness!

[@dougdruziak8795]

So much respect for these guys and for the sport. I'm honored to be witnessing this sport grow into something huge.

[@TBGHaze]

Probably the last time I will be on SpinTV, haha. It was really awesome to have paul here in Jyväskylä!

[@stevet3733]

Awesome documentary. I always wondered how he got so good. Being a loner and making disc golf his outlet. Great focus, determination and drive. Mad respect for Paul

[@zackp6794]

This is my favorite DG video. I've watched it more times than is normal. Ha! Need more videos like this. They don't ALL have to be McBeth videos, but maybe most of them? :-)

[@DustanMoore]

That music makes you feel like you can accomplish anything! Awesome video, it definitely made me respect Paul McBeth for everything he does in and for our sport.

[@colecosbitt9444]

What song was it

[@DustanMoore]

It's background music not a song I don't believe.

[@hollands694]

Cole Cosbitt it's called "Gayer than Hogan's Alley"

[@SeaOrcRonnie]

Paul is the man. His battle is with himself. That's what makes him great. He's not worried about your game. Michael Jordan has that quality.

[@shizachico1063]

All of the goats have that same mentality.

[@LastFanStanding12]

Is he the world's most charismatic, media-friendly guy? No. Is he the world's best disc golfer? Yes. I think he's great for the support in that he provides a true measure of greatness for the rest of the world to strive for.

[@notstonedmason]

look out for an upcoming documentary about me called "the okayness"

[@brandonjontz8587]

Or me "the meh" lol

[@scottbowen8202]

He would still kick my ass on a disc golf course. He’s really good

[@averyprice9422]

Mine would be called.. Below Mediocrity

[@averyprice9422]

I bet I can beat him in GOLF tho...

[@temkef6124]

or 2 new world champion ships and a ten million dollar contract with disc golf lol

[@dwmichaels]

Great video and behind the scenes look at Paul and what it takes to succeed at that level. Have a lot of respect for Paul for what he believes his responsibility is within the sport. It's material like this and people like Paul who can take the sport to the next level.

[@orff.1709]

Paul you're the man and i thank you! Keep up the good work brother!

[@christophchristopher4020]

this sport will grow

[@pate3963]

Yup 100% agree

[@Griphen84]

So much inspiration I get out of this! Fantastic Paul!

[@markhicks9864]

he is so humble. i like all the greats but mcbeast is inspirational.

[@movegroove8747]

A very powerful and inspirational video! Fantastic documentary with terrific video, audio, music and all that went into the making of this film. Bravo! Great job!

[@KivinenMUFC]

Great documentary from Paul and this documentary shows how great person Paul McBeth is !!!

[@Thebrianweissman]

Incredible production that completely elevates the sport. Mcbeth is a phenomenon and an inspiration. I can only hope that future growth of disc golf brings Paul the larger fame and greater financial reward he so rightfully deserves. Can't wait to see more, thank you so much for putting this together!

[@aaron-sonjapenrod4041]

What and incredible documentary, Thanks SpinTV and Paul McBeth!!!

[@MrBBeezy]

he will be in 10 years or so considered the greatest ever. just so disciplined and dedicated and that is what separates him from the rest. i think the only one that comes close is wysocki.

[@dutchalltheway]

njodzi bwerinofa pretty freaking close to reality!

[@johngriffith2875]

Climo

[@marketingheavydutytowcompa6996]

Regardless of the sport the champion always seems to have the biggest heart and strongest drive and determination. I can only imagine throwing a disc at all with an ailing back, much less winning a world championship with a bad back... More proof that McBeth is The G.O.A.T.

[@darrinmarchand2092]

Awesome look into one of the best players. Thanks for the advice, going to be stepping up to my shot trying your mind clearing approach. And its always a pleasure watching you play.

[@jussilahti]

First tournament was AM Worlds and he finished 9th in J16! That's crazy! GOAT! Go McBeast!

[@stephendocter7626]

McBeth OP!!!!!!! you rock! grats on the 4th world title i was a bit nervous for you after 3rd round but you made a huge charged played your game and no one could keep up you crushed it good job paul!!!

[@YoSpier]

Thanks for posing this. Very cool. Hopefully get to shake Pauls hand one day

[@neroschnee7698]

We need a sequel!

[@SteezDG]

How could you dislike this!?

[@jeremyAyeH]

McBeast is such a classy dude

[@thomaswhudson]

Very nice film! Even hurt, he is a beast on the course but he is so down to earth. Well captured.

[@dwmichaels]

We need a) another one of these w/Paul and b) more for the pros in general.

[@KuoksaKristian]

More like a this videos! This is so much fun to see peace of their lives!

[@willsmith863]

Thank You for the great video and for being the great role models that you are.

[@bloodsoup8377]

I started playing disc golf the same year as Paul. That’s pretty cool.

[@DKDiscgolfer]

What a great video! Can't wait for the next one!

[@dereksonderfan922]

This was a nice showcase piece. Well done.

[@RevBoone]

That is awesome. Well done. I love it and look forward to other player documentaries!!

[@vonhyzerberg2729]

So awesome 👏🏼 I gotta Watch it again!

[@dcweber1]

Wow absolutely epic. Confirms the extraordinary effort required to reach the upper echelon of any sporting endeavor. That Pablo McBeth came from extremely meager beginnings makes his achievements even more amazing. Who was Pauls little Finnish caddy? There’s gotta be a story there too.

[@MrWretched4one]

He caddys for him every European Open, even this year.

[@Blalfunt]

thank you for this really got me and my kids pumped for disc golf!!! keep this up please!!!

[@rogermalpass5278]

Damn I hope to meet him one day

[@rustygregerson9806]

Paul is great. I feel like i can be this great even at my age! I would love to play against Paul anytime anywhere.!!

[@natefisher2462]

Love this Documentary!

[@Manginious]

Absolutely awesome film guys!!!

[@narthananbabanban5265]

I’m 11 and really into disc golf. Me and my uncle go like every weekend. I own 17 discs already.

[@marshin7237]

You still crushing discs at 13?

[@memeymeme2738]

i got a signed luna from him!

[@eliasluukkonen1246]

I like that little easteregg at the end, where there is Latin text when they show photos of the players.

[@rcmadness247]

Shout out to Flagstaff, AZ!

[@Kuninkas]

Amazing work! Good luck to worlds Paul!

[@charlesjones1047]

I have to say I am impressed. Very motivating, I've been an athlete all of my life, worked my ass off through serious injury, and I have been throwing plastic for 25 years . I would play to relax between bmx , arena football, mountain cross, and mma. My homies and I are very regretful for not being more involved in the sport back then. I always thought Paul had to be a your run of the mill douchebag athlete. After watching this video, I apologize for my error of character . Much love and bless up y'all.

[@TakingBackGunch]

Great video, Very inspirational. Thanks

[@JimPlattes]

@6:31 you can see how Paul's baseball background informs his excellent sidearm form.

[@tyrelaho8928]

That was awesome! More of these!

[@muutamazibale9748]

2017? So motivated video.

[@savepunk]

Huntington Beach loves you, Paul.

[@brendayanez5539]

send the bag this way paul!! see you at portland open!

[@JordanPike]

Really enjoyed this. Thank you.

[@NKYKush]

Paul is that dude...I hope to be that good someday. I try to always play.

[@dialup5583]

@ 22:43 ... he says "don't be shy, I'm a human just like you" I'm not so sure he isn't lying.

[@rickderby7425]

I was one of those 2 percent Paul. #GOAT

[@user-ll7fv6tu7k]

Just a solid human being.

[@shreddaze2832]

Great piece, inspiring.

[@FrankBroughtonNY]

Awesomeness Personified!

[@wademanke2151]

Dude, the rain drops were very cool looking when you focused in and out..

[@joeycatsun3241]

Another one would be nice. We need a new one

[@jacobfrantzen4559]

Finally a documentary I can enjoy😂

[@mmproductions565]

What a Champion!

[@shizachico1063]

All the greats in every sport hate losing more then they love winning

[@kennethscdoris4697]

Disc golf will never be as big as ball golf in my time, his time or his kids time. Until disc golf loses the public perception of disc golfers, it will always be a recreation activity... But i think your moving in the right direction. Good video..

[@TomShufflebottom]

Great quality

[@rocsurgeon752]

Awesome video in every way.

[@joeblow2426]

Paul really understands the mental game, how to shut out the distracting thoughts. Moreover, he can play well through pain. That’s a distraction that most cannot avoid. His mental game is really what separates him from everyone else (except Ken Climo). I also see how he is a steward of the game. Even back then he understood the broad appeal of Disc Golf and desired to grow the sport. Perhaps, he might be a great candidate for head of the PDGA. I really feel the current leadership is taking it in the wrong direction with it’s emphasis on long open courses, and trying to make it too much like other sports. I think Paul knows to let Disc Golf be Disc Golf.

[@Haufattack]

That was awesome...

[@blakemorain2797]

Awesome! Soundtrack?

[@97eagleman]

What’s the name and artist of the song at 17 min. This video is awesome!!!!!

[@MrSHLY]

Amazing :) Paul
