This is great. I can only speak for myself but I will admit that I have been so jaded by major sports athletes in this country being such overpaid, whiny, pampered babies that when I started watching disc golf I just assumed the top players were pretty much the same here. Watching this made me snap back into reality and remember how unpaved this road is, and how hard all the top players in this sport work to pave it for the next generation. I'm not saying none of them do it for selfish reasons, but I think it's pretty clear by this video and videos from many other top players in this sport that they mostly do it for the love of the game. It's what really draws me in to this world, and I know that all of this hard work is going to pay off in the future because disc golf is to cool of a sport to not catch on with the masses. Much respect to you Paige.

I'm sure that there are other fans of disc golf out there that have seen the articles posted about Paige not following the rules of the PDGA. This would have happened on Monday, 8/23. Long story short, the police were called. You can't practice on that course until Friday, 8/26. Paige left the course before the police arrived.
@@foxmulder6272 Exactly. She is out there trying to put in work, but is not allowed to because disk golf is not big enough yet to have enough of it's own courses. Instead players have to defer to ball golf and a list of other things to even put in practice rounds to improve their game and grow the sport. I'm not saying I think Paige or anyone else should be above the rules, but this just goes to my point that it's a struggle for these disc golfers to progress the game that we all love, and I have much respect for them for trying to push it forward.
Watch Paige's documentary "Fierce" and you'll see what kind of crap disc golfers have to put up with, especially FPO. The women are made to play on multiple courses in one tournament and the men play on one. That's three courses to practice on and not enough time to practice. The manufacturers short-change the FPO players and treat them as second-class citizens. The MPO 5x world champion got a 10-MILLION-dollar contract. The FPO 5x champ got $500k. That's screwed up.
@@arr64lima63 I agree that the gap is wider than it should be, but to be fair discraft wouldn't have the money they have to pay Paige if it wasn't for Paul most likely. I'm not a big fan of his, but there's no doubt that he has brought more eyes and revenue to the sport than almost anyone else. Paige is high on the list as well, but I think it's a pretty big gap between Paul and the rest. It's hard to say Paul is overpaid because of this, but I would definitely say that you could say Paul is overpaid before you could say that Paige is underpaid. That's just my opinion though. Either way I think it's only a matter of time before we see more of these players making six figures or more per year and that is awesome!
@@arr64lima63 if you want women to get paid the same as men then by all means join the mpo field it is open to women. Men throw farther, attract a bigger crowd and pull in more money and hands down put on a better show. What do you expect. I will agree yes they play a bunch of different courses and the people that run diskgolf are dumb as shit. But this is all facts that play here. Would you really pay someone the same amount who doesn’t pull of all that, simple answer no. Womens field yes they compete in THEIR field but they just don’t pull in the numbers so why pay more? If you wanna complain about anything, bring up why you have “men” playing in an FPO field. That right there is a disgrace to all females, totally unfair. Weather you like it or not men are the superior sex and it’s facts that has been proven all around the board in so many sports. But women complain constantly about money. But at the end of the day yes women do get screwed for rules and yes some and I do mean some are under paid but what men do be what women do in sports is a WHOLE different ball game and can’t be compared.
What an awesome representative for the sport we love. Thank you Paige for being such a giving, caring and sharing kind of pro. Everyone of us loves you and wishes the best for you. Looking forward to your documentary.
Enjoy the documentary!! Make sure you get it before September 4th! It gets taken down, but if you purchase it it will be there forever!
Seems like a full day's work every day!
You are doing a great job promoting discgolf and yourself!
Thanks!
This was great , love to see things like this, thanks paige
I was hoping this was gonna be a current blog about the dustup at the country club
It seems like that was handled pretty civilly
@@bradwurst8141 indeed. the police were called and then everyone acted like adults
@@CroppedCross3 well said brad
wow, that's a much busier life than I expected. Kudos for being able to do it all so well for so long. Best of luck and hope for many more years of success.
53 Y/o Navy Corpsman Vet Here! I grew up in Sherman,TX. I'm currently in Missouri. Harmony Bends area. Love ya Paige! ( You and Paul's, 5 Time Discgolfer Magazine is on my fridge) :-) Still in Plastic. All of Ya'll, Truly Help my game!
Played my first local tournament (I'm 50 years old, below average player, but enthusiastic), ended up being T8th and my friend sent me this link as a prediction of my future. 😂 Not really, I guess. So fun to see you, Paige, a bit more relaxed and yes, even I would go crazy in a warehouse with that many discs. :-)
It’s hard not to go crazy in that warehouse- soooo many pretty discs!
I would lose myself if I was in a disc warehouse.
We literally have ALLLLLL been there. The collection grows reallllllly fast 😅
I was thinking the same thing lol. Literally the definition of a kid in a candy store for disc golfers.
You guys went fowling while you were here?! Yes! That's so Detroit ❤️
It was great to have you back in the mitten. Followed you a couple of the rounds and caught you and missy at the flymart. Love when you both are there because you turn up the jams 🤸🏽♂️🤣
Ha! It was soooo fun! The jams make the vibe great!
Busy life Paige, but I wouldn't trade it for anything! When your feeling burnt just think about all the people working their day jobs dreaming to live that life! Thanks for the look into your life! Good luck at worldz, you got this!
You're always the greatest to me PP. sorry world's didn't go well. I never stop rooting for ya. 🐐🐐
It’s so interesting to see the ins and outs of what goes on before you start an event! The tour though the warehouse was such a treat and the news interview was so cool!!!! Keep crushing it out there!
Pipe down lady
Thanks Chloe!! The warehouse addition is CRAZY!
Well shot video. Good luck in Worlds! Greetings from Norway.
My videographer did such an incredible job with this one! Hello Norway!!
This video deserves way more likes 🔥
Hi Paige! We love you! You're our favourite! All the best at the Worlds! Thanks for the amazing video!!! Much love from Eastern Canada.
The HUB that’s right across the highway from my work!
“WATCH OUT SATELLITE!” 🤣🤣 Great video, Paige.
I bought one of those mini fierces for my 1 year old. She doesn’t go anywhere without it now 😂
Yessss 🙌 that’s so cute!
OMG! the new discs are sooooo beautiful!!!
Nice look at all you do...on top of killing it in a tournament! Thanks.
Thanks, this is one of my busiest events but I love every second of it!!
Awesome! Love this type of video behind the scenes 🤙
Something we may not think about much... How many interviews you do with people who say "Are you Paige?" or "What is Frisbee golf?". Great ambassador for the sport! They always kinda laugh until they see a pro throw!
Yay! I made it into the video twice! Got to meet Paige at dglo and it was amzaing!!!
It would be soooo cool to tour the warehouse and pick some goodies definitely jealous Paige 💜👍
I want some big z passions! My most seriously favorite disc .
They're so nice and stable 🤤
Holy PR Batman! I'm exhausted! Whew!
How can someone get there hands on a misprint mini or one those sweet black discs with the gold foil (assuming putter, based on rim)?!? Both of those would look great in my bag or a part of my discraft collection!!!
Would those mino fierces be good for my 5 year old to use when we play together or do they not have true flight and are more like decorative minis?
They are to scale, just smaller.
They’re so fun to play with- even as adults!!
Nice Video! Greetings from Switzerland
the only thing i hated were the passions were released while i was playing and i didnt get a chance to grab one :(
Warehouse manager is a babe. Been there 19 years? Keeping it tight.
do you book all your travel and accommodations as soon as the tournament schedule is released for the year, or is it more week to week or month to month? thanks for the look inside your life! looks very busy and very exciting!
Good question! Usually my assistant helps with that in the off season, and we book it all at once. Sometimes we need to make last minute bookings but most of it is in advanced.
Paige! I would love to caddy a round for you next DGLO!!!!
How do you deal with the pressure Paige, seems it can get overwhelming at times?
I just take it one day at a time, and focus on the present moment!
Still wondering what happened to that nature series disc that was supposed to come at ledgestone
Are you talking about the limited release Passions??
@@paigepiercediscgolf yes
@paigepeirce what happend at the country club? Would like to get your point of view
You can refer to my agents recent update on the matter, "On Monday 8/22 Paige Pierce was attempting to play a practice round at Emporia Country Club to prepare for the World Championships. Paige was given a cart key and told where to get the cart by a member of the country club. When approaching the first tee Paige was told by an employee of the country club that the course was closed. When Paige asked to speak to a manager the request was denied. Paige believed this to be a miscommunication. She was then told by another employee of the country club that they were calling the police. Paige collected her things and decided to leave the course. She was not escorted from the course and was not approached by any police. This is a non issue and a misunderstanding as she was trying to practice for the World Championships only 8 days before they begin. Paige is looking forward to competing and is focused on winning her 6th World Championship."

Crazy man, some tight security at that country club! Hope you got an apology from them for the mix up and police being called 😬
@@paigepiercediscgolf I was pleased to see reddit pretty much universally assumed there was a misunderstanding and if there was poor behavior it wasn't on your part. The community has had enough drama in the last few weeks without more lol. I doubt ECC will see you for a few years after World's is over lol.
@@paigepiercediscgolf Wow, two employees not registering it was one of the touring pros and acting out, gotta say I'm not surprised after reading it was at a country club, that's douche country.
Country Club? ... sounds like Judge Smails was running things there at Bushwood!
What's the story about the golf cart?
what happens when the course changes in between the practice rounds and tournament
There aren't any course changes in between practice rounds and the actual tournament- the only changes happen after a following tournament year and it's usually clearly laid out in the caddy book!
Dang! when are the new Collector's series discs dropping? They look sweet!
Did you mean the ones from Ledgestone? Or my 3x European Fierce?
@@paigepiercediscgolf Ledgestone I think. I realize they already sold out :(
I think this is probably better titled "Week In The Life of a Pro Disc Golf Superstar", though I'd understand why you wouldn't want to put that down. 😉 Loved that interview you did with the TV guy! Thanks for being so accessible and for exciting all of us to go play some more disc golf. 👏
sorry to hear about the stupid club thing.. nobody told you not to show up early.
I wanna see what the other half looks like.....walmart parking lots, handmedown disc, bald tires that are about to fall off 😉 you know...the REAL nitty gritty
Are you Paige? Oh my....
Paige, if you read this...I realize that Worlds is starting in a week, just go out and play golf...because you love golf. "Have Fun!!!! allowyour heart to be filled with joy because you are alive...and healthy...and you are blessed with the physical and mental ability to play any game whatsoever...jusy have fun

In the time it took you to make this, Tattar was spending that time training. You trying to be a mid-level internet celebrity or a disc golfer? Rhetorical question.
Busy girl. A lot of time spent not practicing disc golf. You might get rich from endorsement deals, but don’t forget there’s others out there hungry to knock you off that top spot.
Yeah it must suck for you to see people enjoy themselves while your life is so terrible. But don't worry, she'll always be at least 200 ratings points higher than you.
My life is off the chain, homie. Self employed doing my literal dream job! Awesome girlfriend and family life! I’m afraid yours must not be A+ based on your comment, but you can get momentum though. Just takes a good plan and daily baby steps to manifest it! You da man!
@@nicolasmorgan2816 your response is incredibly ironic, considering you came here to bring Paige down for enjoying _her_ success. Keep it up with the hypocricy if it makes you feel better though, I guess.
the social media team never answered my IG DM. it was a simple question and yall arent even that big chill out.
Hmm. Interesting, what was the question you had, maybe I can help out here?
Natalie Ryan will win worlds guaranteed. She’s been sandbagging, intentionally shooting 4 strokes worse than she can each round.
