The mind behind Super Team, Stefan Rappazzo is a Renaissance man. We know him best as the quick witted, charismatic commentator for ULTI.TV. He has lived all over the world from Canada to Korea to Australia to Nicaragua to France teaching people how to play and spreading his passion for ultimate. Stef has also been an entrepreneur, restaurateur, author, YouTuber, and has even sold real estate in the middle of a battlefield. Behind the scenes, Pazzo has worked hard to promote ultimate and sponsor players. More than anything, Pazzo's infectious energy is what makes the ultimate community a special one. Instead of waiting for all of the disc orgs around the world to get their shit together, Pazzo has his boots on the ground to find big sponsors, promote the game's best players, and collaborate with as many content creators as he can.Speaking of which, keep your eyes peeled for some exciting Super Team news this summer... which hopefully means the Pod will be taking a trip to London.Pod Practice Store: https://ko-fi.com/podpractice/shopPromo Code: PRACTICEPLAYER for 40% off T-ShirtsGreatest Bags: https://www.greatestbag.com/Use promo code: PODPRACTICE10 for 10% off your Greatest Bag OrderPod Practice BE Ultimate Store: https://shop.beultimate.com/collections/pod-practice-podcastDownload The Playbook: https://betterthanever.beultimate.com/the-playbook-infoMore from Pod Practice:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podpractice_podYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@podpractice_podEmail: [email protected] BE Ultimate: https://beultimate.com/Kikko Socks: https://kikkosocks.com/Use discount code: POD15 for 15% off your next order.0:00 Intro3:00 Stef's beginnings16:00 Shit hits the fan33:15 Celebrity Sightings34:24 Selling the game - Refs, Observers, or Advisors38:20 Finding big sponsors49:00 UFA Integrity Rule54:15 Quinn's observer idea 57:30 Stef on USA vs world 59:40 SUPER TEAM 1:07:38 Jim Nolte - The Ultimate Lender1:11:21 Stagnation of our organizers1:17:00 Finding ways to push ultimate forward ourselves1:19:30 "Competitive Integrity," USAU's Flight Requirements1:24:00 Who is USAU really serving?1:30:18 Europe vs USA1:34:50 Stef’s Top 7 European MMPs1:38:37 Stef’s Top 7 European FMPs1:43:00 Shirtless Pod1:46:40 Foul Limits1:54:50 Need for statistics1:56:10 Get Stef to US Open1:57:45 Meeting of the Minds2:12:10 Stef Pazzo MUST EAT2:20:00 Celbrating the ultimate community
