This episode we chat with observer, game advisor, and National Rules Director for USAU, Janna Hamaker. Even if you don't know the whole rulebook, don't worry, Janna answered all of our questions and more! Co-hosted by Tulsa Douglas and Luisa Neves.
In this episode, Janna tells us about how she got started in ultimate. Then, we get into a whole host of topics having to do with the ins and outs of observing, including, but not limited to: her mindset while observing, how she deals with controversial calls, the differences between observing, game advising, and refereeing, and more. She even digs into how rules are created, changed, and adapted in the U.S. Then, she wraps up by playing a classic Share the Air game, Ten Second Stall!
Share the Air also has some news: we are collaborating with the Global Ultimate Training School (which you might know as our sponsor, NUTC), to help put on a virtual conference for coaches of all levels! Check out NUTC's registration site to find our more!
