I had just closed the store and was working on the day’s closing procedure when the phone rang. It was a guy named Andreas, he lived in Lyngby and had started playing disc golf a month ago. He actually called to ask if we knew anything about a pop-up course that was supposed to be located in Ermelunden (Gentofte), to which I replied that it was probably a pop-up tournament once. It seems that there had been plans for a permanent track at one point, but that something went wrong and it didn’t materialize.
After a little talk about the area around Lyngby and the surrounding courses, which I had helped to establish, he asked about a Facebook ad we at Discimport had running about personal training. We talked a bit about how we teach, Andreas interrupts and asks how much it costs and when I can “give” such a one-hour lesson…… “Can you do it tomorrow”?
(It’s usually the case that people just have to look in the calendar and then they return with suggestions for dates), Andreas just wanted to get started quickly….. We met the next day at Lyngby Stadium, also known as the seaside resort.
The big focus of the day was his forehand, which he was having problems with. We started, as we always do, by videoing his current form on the forehand, it was 41 meters and somewhat unstable in its flight. So we threw ourselves into some exercises and a more theoretical review of the pre throw itself. We went through everything from the grip, balance, angles and his lack of runup on the forehand. After about 60 minutes, we videoed Andreas again, this time the length was 108 meters, and in a perfectly low and straight S-curve.
Andreas was happy, yes we both were……. For us at Discimport, it’s important that it works.
