Ultimate Frisbee- "How to Layout" by Clare Frantz and Juli Crockett

[@jaymacpherson8167]

Good advice! I did gymnastics in high school which included tumbling, which may be a great way to improve diving performance. Running full speed, diving, and tucking into a roll (yes, on a mat). Being comfortable with that, and then starting Ultimate, I had no hesitation to dive. If my catch or block occurred while still more than a couple feet off the ground, I would tuck, and usually come back up on my feet. A good friend who got me into gymnastics started playing Ultimate and he was even better at the dive, tuck, and back up on his feet. Most times I was too close to the ground to tuck, so I maximize the surface of my body that contacts the ground at the same time. This minimizes friction on any one patch of my body, making for lesser raspberries and pain.

Well done!

something should most certainly be emphasized is that the legs must straighten out.. otherwise you can easily land on your knee...
