Over the past/upcoming several weeks, I will have browsed, read, and taken notes on every issue and submission on what might be the single best Ultimate knowledge resource available today: Ben Wiggin’s The Huddle.
For those unfamiliar, it is a “magazine” of sorts. There are 29 issues, each dealing with a different specific topic of Ultimate strategy, technique, skills, opinions, and more. Within each issue, a panel of high level Ultimate players and minds give their own personal input on each topic. The result is a wonderful collection of varying views on a wide array of important topics and aspects of the sport.
For my Outside the Huddle series, I aim to ask some follow-up questions on most, if not all, of the issues. Hopefully I can find some community input (via the comments on this blog, reddit’s /r/ultimate, and more). I will do my best to research any past discussions on my own questions and find some possible answers.
There are also a notebook’s worth of invaluable statements and ideas, and I hope to collect and expand upon those that I find.
I plan to start this series as 2015 rolls in.
