Ultimate Mobility

Ultimate Mobility Hey, I'm Brian. Ultimate Mobility is my system for revolutionizing Ultimate Frisbee training.

I work with Ultimate players and teams to improve mobility, reduce pain, and improve performance with well-rounded programs for long-term results. I am Brian Nevison, a personal trainer, mobility specialist, and athlete. Play, movement, and helping people make positive life changes are my greatest passions. I have 10+ years of experience training all kinds of people in one on one, group, and team settings. I’ve found that sharing my own experiences and mindsets, and reflecting upon them has allowed me to connect with and inspire people. This process of sharing has also helped me learn a lot about myself and others, which has enabled me to be a more effective trainer and motivator. I am always making an effort to broaden my reach (with this page, my website, and other social media) so that I can help, inspire, and benefit more people. It is my sincerest desire to provide content and services that promote long-term physical and mental wellness for as many as possible. I believe very strongly in the power of smiles and positivity, and try my very best to live life in a way that will help to spread such values – it is a constant and conscious daily effort to keep improving. At my very core, what I want to accomplish with my life is simply help people become happier and more fulfilled. My strengths lie in fitness and positivity/motivation, but I would explore any avenue to accomplish this goal. While I have led a truly wonderful life so far, I have experienced many injuries and chronic pain, as well as periods of emotional distress. For all of this I am grateful, as it allows me to better empathize and relate – at least to some degree – with more people. Furthermore, these experiences have implored me to learn and grow, and ignited my passion to enrich the lives of everyone I meet. Certifications/Education:

Here’s what’s different about a lot of my Ultimate Frisbee training:

Mobility is a priority, not a filler or afterthought.

Yes, I still lift. Yes, I have some days when I do heavier lifts.

But most often, I spend extra energy on things like high intensity isometrics or joint rotations.

This keeps me healthy, keeps me strong, keeps my joints & tendons strong…

AND it helps me get more out of my lifts.

👆This is the kind of training I program for my clients.

We’re not avoiding lifting, we’re not taking a low-intensity approach.

We’re just dividing up the training pie more evenly. Because mobility — a form of specific strength training — is massively important.

If you wanna be healthy and play for a long time :)

Your progress does NOT depend on perfection or extremes 🎯

After 20,000+ in-person training sessions with all kinds of people, here’s what I know for sure: sustainable beats extreme every single time.

You don’t need rigid meal plans, perfect training weeks, or an all-or-nothing mindset to make real progress as an Ultimate player.

What you DO need:
→ Self-compassion over self-judgment
→ Small, consistent habits that build over time
→ The understanding that mistakes and imperfection are part of the process

Now, if you’re chasing elite-level performance? You WILL have seasons where you push harder—extra throws, harder conditioning, intense lifting blocks.

But that’s a strategic, short-term extreme, not chronic rigidity.

The difference matters.

Start smaller than you think you need to. Build your foundation and habits over time. Trust the process.

The improvements you want are on the other side of consistency, not perfection or rigidity.

What’s one small habit you’re working on this off-season? 👇

PS - I know this is easier said than done. Start by being kind to yourself ❤️

🥏 Not 100% confident in your shoulders playing Ultimate?

Try this simple routine 👇

1️⃣ One hand behind back, drop the shoulder blade and pull it back. Push the hand into the small of your back & hold

Do 1-2 Shoulder CARs (big, slow, pain-free rotation) with the opposite shoulder while squeezing a ball tightly.

2️⃣ Switch shoulders and do the same thing

3️⃣ Do both shoulders at once x 1-2 reps

👆Repeat 1-2x depending how you feel. Try it 2-3x per week.

NOTES:

👉 If you’ve never done shoulder CARs, start off easy with low tension. Practice before making it more intense.

👉 Go through pain-free ranges only.

👉 Be sure to breathe!

👉 This is not the only thing you should do for your shoulders, but it’s an efficient way to create strength and control in big ranges — very important for Ultimate.

PS - This process will also help you identify priority areas in your shoulders — it’s a great assessment.

🥏 Why do I accelerate better than most players at 38-years-old?

👉 Because I stay healthy enough to practice (through focused mobility training).

👉 Because I practice consistently throughout the entire year.

For real, I have HUNDREDS of self-fetch vids in the vault. I could post a new vid every single day all year round. Should I?

👉 Because I’m generally strong (through smart lifting) and strong exactly where I need to be (through mobility training).

👉 Because I practice using my strength quickly (power training, plyos, etc).

👉 Because I incentivize myself to focus and push harder (via self-fetch and an active imagination)

⭐️ Don’t sleep on mobility. It helps us continue to be ABLE to do the other stuff. And is often the lowest hanging fruit for improvement.

DISCLAIMER: it does NOT prevent you from losing focus and doing a dropsie now and then 😆

PS - I’ve got lots of mobility training and education in my feed, on YouTube, my podcast, and my communities 🤗

It won’t steal your gains, it’ll grow them.

Influencers HATE this: Nuance 😂

Context is crucial when deciding how to train (and who to trust).

It’s SO easy to think “oh, this worked for them so it’ll work for me.”

And many less experienced folks think “It worked for me, so it’ll work for everyone.”

If a specific quality — like strength, power, endurance, flexibility — has never been trained with any focus…

…almost ANYTHING will improve it.

Temporarily 🙃

When you’ve worked with all kinds of people — as I have — in person for many years, you see the patterns.

You see how addictive “quick fixes” can be. And how they set people up for failure.

If you want to see change from training, you don’t have to blow up your life.

But you DO have to commit to something consistently for weeks and months.

And think about the stuff you’re doing most: is it reasonable to expect a CHANGE by doing what you’ve been doing?

Ultimate players deal with a lot of hamstrings and hip tightness and pain.

This simple set up is great for hamstrings health and hip mobility — I especially love it as part of an efficient warm-up.

Isometrics are great for building strength, improving mobility, and helping us feel better.

By holding an isometric (pushing down using into the bench) while you rotate your hip, you train different parts of your hamstrings and challenge your hip more.

You may also notice that certain angles feel more…challenged. Might be a good idea to give them more time and attention.

Give it a shot and lemme know what you think :)

7 Weird & Helpful Ultimate Warm-Ups (emphasis on the weird)

Check ‘em out! And notice the cleats 👀

After a few weeks of use, I love them! They feel good on my toes, have great traction, and are super light.

After a couple minutes, I forget I have cleats on, which is perfect.

As someone who trusts my feet and ankles, I hate when cleats feel too bulky or rigid. It makes ME feel bulky and unstable.

But in the TOKAY cleats I feel stable and close to the ground, like a racecar…just how I like. Highly recommend!

🎙️Part 1 of Mic’d Up Self-Fetch. Listen in to hear my thoughts out loud.

As if I didn’t get enough looks already for throwing discs to myself in a public park 😜

It was grey, windy, chilly, and the field was hard and uneven…but we (me and the discs and bugs) had fun and got some good work in.

I like get 700-1000 self-fetch reps in per year. We’re off to a great off-season so far.

More to come on this, had a bunch of other fun reps this week!

Q: Is feeling tighter & stiffer just a product of getting stronger from regular lifting?

Is lifting through full range of motion the best way to improve flexibility/mobility?

What should you prioritize to reduce tightness and move more easily?

A: Listen in 🎧

🚨SPOILER ALERT

Lifting through full range CAN improve mobility — for some people, temporarily.

But if you continue to lift intensely without working on your mobility, there’s a good chance you’ll become stiffer.

HOWEVER, combining smart lifting with focused mobility training is a great recipe!

You can absolutely lift heavy, build muscle and strength, WHILE improving mobility.

If you are feeling stiffer and less mobile than you’d like, and you’re doing regular lifting, consider shifting some of that time and energy to mobility work 😉

You won’t lose your gains, you’ll gain greater gainz.

How do I consistently create separation and cut aggressively, even at the age of 38? Let’s break it down and show you what to focus on 👇

(Full 7 min vid is in my membership)

Mobility, strength, power, practice.

First off is mobility. This is where most players I work with need to spend more time. Look at the angle of my leg, the angle I’m pushing off from.

No matter how much I practice or how strong I am, I can’t push off effectively if I can’t easily get INTO that aggressive position.

So I need to have good hip mobility (particularly internal rotation and abduction).

I also need solid ankle & knee mobility and strength in big ranges to handle that force.

So I want to specifically train the hips, ankles, knees, and also spend time getting comfortable with the more extreme positions.

At the same time, I can use lifting to increase my overall ability to produce force with challenging lifts like squats, deadlifts, lunges, etc.

This will raise my ceiling for being fast and powerful.

As I build mobility and strength, I can more effectively practice being in wide positions and creating force as I rotate and move laterally.

I can gradually increase the intensity of the practice, working in cuts with more and more aggressive angles of my legs.

To give yourself the best chance at safely and violently cutting, start with MOBILITY (and be sure to get plenty of practice).

Strength, power, and practice don’t matter as much if you can’t get into the position you need to.

I’ve been at this for a long time. I have more reps on FILM than most people have done in their life. I’ve worked with tons of people of all abilities.

Strength and power training is important. But if you really want to be a monster for the long-term, you’ve got to prioritize mobility (which, by the way is a form of more specific strength training).

And you absolutely need lots of focused reps on the things you want to improve.
