Over the last half decade, Rowan has done as much to push the sport forward as anyone. Putting yourself out there on YouTube, Instagram, and other social platforms has its pros and cons. It can have effect the way your peers look at you. It also opens up opportunities to connect with communities near and far that you otherwise would never be able to. He also talks about his holistic approach to training, the principles of DC offense, and how much we can learn about throwing from disc golf.

On the tenth episode of Pod Practice we are joined by Devynn Miller. She shares the ups and downs of supporting Quinn's obsession with ultimate. It takes big sacrifices to achieve greatness in pursuit of our dreams. It's easy to forget that our loved ones are also making huge sacrifices to support us in that pursuit. Quinn is lucky to have found a partner who provides that support. We couldn't be happier for the two of them. Congrats to Devynn and Quinn on the next step in their lives together!

On the ninth episode of Pod Practice, we talk to one of the most accomplished players of the last decade, Sean Keegan. Since 2014, Sean has been to 5 National Semis, 3 National Finals, won 2 Championships (Bravo 2014, Pony 2018), won a WUCC title with Pony in 2022, and made the team USA roster. Sean has gone through a lot of ups and downs from a reputation standpoint and coming back from injuries. At 36, he has had one of the longest careers playing at the highest level of the sport, and many of his best seasons have come after he turned 30. He credits his teammates, hard work, and a passion to be the best for his longevity in the sport.
