MY WORST MISTAKES OF THE SEASON (with my boss)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 гру 2019
- Jussi Meresmaa (discmania CEO) sits down and watches all my double bogeys or worse of the 2019 disc golf season. I thought this video is going to be shorter but somehow there was too much footage.... I'm glad I'm still on the team!!!

I love Jussi's perspective at the end, it's very true. Thanks for the post.
Duhhh hes fuckin rich, of course hes happy
I felt really emotional at 15:45 because you can see Jussi's comment lands like a warm fuzzy punch to Simon's heart.
Amen
You make a mistake
Your boss: I'm glad you're still smiling, that's why I pay you.
I make a mistake
My boss: why are you smiling?

@15:55 Simon's reactions to Jussi's response is touching. You can tell he is getting choked up and that relationship between a boss and "employee" is special.
So true! Glad someone else noticed. His eyes literally started tearing up
I know right
Simon is so humble he has no clue why fans love him.
It's who you are as a person, not just the fact you're an elite series pro disc golfer. You have a fun spirit that makes watching you fun. Even if it's a double/triple bogey. The fun is still there and it rubs off on to the fans.
I started playing disc golf 2 years ago as a way to go out and have fun with my sons. No negative energy, bad shots, good shots, laugh at the tees the trees and the baskets. Simon is the epitome of that energy.
Simon's worst mistakes of the season. Aka: an average round for an am player 😂
I love these videos with Jussi though, he seems like such a nice guy!
Lol! So true!
I’ve always enjoyed watching Simon play and I think it’s 10x more awesome that he has such a great boss who cares less about the mistakes than he does the memories and being happy.
“I like this video. I hopefully we can see another one next year.” - Jussi 😂😂😂
ROFL 🤣
"Always smiling Simon". We appreciate your humility and attitude. It's why we root for you!
Simon is my favorite player purely because of what Jussi said, he is fun to watch and he never gets upset or throws tantrums. His style is to throw the big shots and go for it rather than play it safe which is what draws people in.
Boss: "Now you shank it to the right..."
Boss, on a different hole: "So you didn't get to the ladies tee?"
B, diff hole: "What were you thinking?"
B: "Tyyni (tournament) was you your worst finish of the season, right?"
B: "Nice little mid-range straight into the water."
B: "Do you like trees?"
B: "A little soft. And weak."
But then. Boss: "It's great to see that you just missed your putt for eagle right? And what are you doing? You're smiling. It's heartwarming that one of the most talented players in the world... is a human. And the human side is really important."
SO good. And yes, Jussi, very heartwarming. And highly entertaining. Thanks so much for posting.
And always smile.
Simon, you respond better than anyone else on tour. I love how Jussi is like "this is how i want to see you". Then your other teammate punches the ground when he misses a shot and breaks his hand. I wonder why Jussi likes your reactions!! haha
Jussi is such a good person, and that's why he's so drawn to you, Simon, because you're such a good person, too.
You're always fun to watch, winning or not! Your 3-putt double bogeys just make you more relatable.
Your boss loves the way you represent the company, your fans love the way you represent the sport... Never change Simon!
Simon to most of us, you are the most entertaining Disc Golfer to watch. You always have a smile on your face and you throw the most wicked "Simon lines" out there and its awesome to watch. I would be happy watching you play a round where you go +10. It doesnt matter how bad you play for me. Its the fact that you are an inspiration to everyone who wants to be like you
This video just gave me a lot more respect for Discmania as a brand. Jussi Meresmaa, thank you for being a good example of a compassionate person. You drew out the best in Simon even during watching the video of his errors. It's an honor to throw the plastic you sell; keep caring for people.
Simon, there is just something irresistibly charming and humble about you. In this episode you really allow yourself to he vulnerable. I live that.
Simon is human, but even when he is having a bad round he can be very entertaining to watch.
Best video ever. Not because Simon suffered, but because he's such a great guy and doesnt want to let his fans ever see him get too upset. He just enjoys the sport and cares about his fans so much
What a boss! It's pretty clear that this relationship goes beyond employee/boss and that's awesome!
Straight power move, Simon. Bringing your boss in to watch the worst of your year. XD But seriously, we as fans have mad respect for your composure during these situations. You are one of the players we strive to be like when we are having a bad round. Being able to smile in the worst of times or shrug off bad shots or even self deprecation without being toxic is SO HARD TO DO. You are on another plane of existence that we all hope to reach man. Keep doing what you do, we love it.
Jussi's ending comments there were awesome. Uplifting a good person in a great sport. I can't imagine the trials of what pdga pros go thru on that stage and in their personal lives, after following almost all the tourneys these past several years. It's cool to see.
I miss watching Jussi compete! You should do some rounds with him on here!
Juicy is right. One of the reasons why people love Simon so much is his attitude. His worst angry breakout is kicking dirt... No screaming, no punching discs, no kicking baskets. 90% of the time, he throws a poor shot and laughs with the camera crew. It *is* heartwarming to see that behavior.
"Nice little mid-range....straight into the water".
What a cool boss and a great video, laughing at yourself is one of life's keys. It was like watching a really critical Dad with the best intentions and lots of love watch his son fail. That's an outstanding example for kids to see that getting mad when you screw up does absolutely nothing for you.
"I laugh outside but cry inside."
Takes guts to view all of your missteps with your boss. Simon, we still love you man. 2020 will be yours.
Love that your “boss” likes that you smile through your bogeys! Thank you! And no one is perfect but we can learn from our mistakes and work on our game. Love watching your video Simon. I am newer at DG starting in my 50s. My parents were from Germany too. Thanks for sharing.
Not sure why it took me so long to watch this video, but glad I did. Simon, you exemplify what all of us should achieve to be on the course. We should accept our success and failures with humility. Thank you for taking the time to post videos like this and just being who you are. You are an inspiration to all of us.
Dude this is one of the coolest videos I’ve seen all season. It’s so amazing to see your composure and pure love of the sport even when it’s beating you down. Thanks for doing what you do!
Simon, your videos are best ones in all the US and the rest of the world. You made me to absolutely fall in love with Disc Golf. I never miss any of your Vlogs and any other videos. Keep on doing what you do best. Play, toss, bedazzle us your fans with your talent. Thank you for being you.
I was fortunately able to go the 2019 Worlds at Ledgestone, I was in the gallery right next to hole 4 and saw the triple bogey. I think me and my buddies all shed a tear for you when we saw the shot roll OB. Your boss is right, we all get frustrated playing and most of us don’t even get paid to play, yet you keep a smile on your face!🙂 Inspirational!
What can I say, if we all had a mentor or boss that looks that deeply in to their employees we would all have a chance, but these warms my heart because it lets me know that nice things happen to nice people.... Simon, your the man, 🤟🏼
Jussi reactions to this video with Simon are GOLD.The CEO ,the BOSS sitting with you and you are showing him your worst and he is like ok this ok .He seems like a great person and boss. I love videos like this from Simon and Discmania because it shows not not only the best and great shot but the worst and bad games. Nothing but respect here.
Love the video. I was with the guys who were returning your putters at Canadian Nationals. They were fairly new young players and super stoked you let them keep the discs.
You're my favorite player for many reasons, but this is the main one. Attitude is everything. Laugh the pain away
Jussi seems like one of the best bosses ever. I’m sure he wants to see success but he also wants to see you enjoy what you do. When you have fun that’s sometimes a better product seller than the most world titles or the farthest thrown disc. Here’s to another year
I have never had more respect for a CEO, what an amazing perspective. Keep being awesome Simon!
I remember watching this video 3 years ago, still makes me smile.
"I like this video, hopefully we can see another one next year" is one of the greatest lines in all of your videos lol
Dude Simon I love that you decided to put together a video of failure... you are the best. So honest and such a good role model.
Simon with the best smile in disc golf
Jussi makes the exact point why i love simon. When you see simon smiling he did something amazing or something amazingly bad.
Simon, you’re a great person with a magnetic personality. Your humility and positivity will take you far, in disc golf, and beyond. Thank you for bringing joy to so many. Cheers.
I think every amateur feel your pain. For me it’s happened every single round 😢 but you give us encouragement because you still keep calming.
The worlds triple had to be the most painful. Watching this footage is a great way to fix your mistakes. It seemed like the death putts are what got you the most. Overall still a good year!!
It makes this video hearing that you smiling is a highlight per your boss. Keep being you Simon and one day we will see multiple world championships with your name on them!
Best personality in disc golf. Simon, you are loved by the community.
Thank you for being the professional you are Simon! Watching you take those mistakes with a smile is always encouraging.
What a great attitude Simon has. Humble too.
Simon, you are an honest man who has unlimited talent! I love watching your videos! Your boss is very encouraging no matter the outcome! Also thank you for signing a disc for my Son during the 2018 DGPT Championship in Jacksonville Florida!
I watched this video because of my interest in disc golf, but it really ended up being a lesson on management. Lift your employees up, encourage them, nurture them, and everybody wins, regardless of how many double bogies are thrown.
Thanks guys.
Simon, you are the best! Thanks for sharing a compilation of failures. If you try anything difficult in life you'll fail from time to time (unless you're Paul McBeth), but it takes great strength to keep such a lovely spirit through it all.
By the way Simon can without a doubt also celebrate his succesfull plays almost better than everyone else. He's truly marvellous
Keep smiling Simon! Jussi is definately The disc golf guy. This video was really heartwarming and funny
"This was all or nothing"
-Jussi
i lol'd
Love your videos these last couple of weeks, Simon! You rule the off-season!
I would also say that another good reason that he pays you is that it is entertaining to the audience to see the lines that no one else sees. Whether they work or not isn't as important as seeing new ways of approaching holes that most people aren't willing to try or can't see.
You the man Simon. Always great attitude. Never change. You do more for the sport by professionalism and style than anyone else.
Mr. Simon Lizotte, you sir definitely have the quality of humility. A good quality to have is the ability to laugh at yourself. I enjoyed this video, I know it was hard for you. LOL
Videos like these where you see just how genuine and relatable Simon is explains fully why he is my favorite player. Thanks Simon and I hope next year’s video is much shorter and your quest for the World Championship is complete as well!
I love you and your disc golf videos so much Simon I hope one day I can meet you keep up the great work and have a good rest of the off season and a good 2020 season.
Omg, I didnt realize how cool the Discmania CEO is. Really makes me want to get some Discmania stuff.
Such an amazing video idea Simon. I love your creativity and personality.
Awesome video. A lesson for us on the course and in our jobs. Try hard. Own your mistakes. Keep a good attitude and your boss will keep you around.
I love the humility that Simon has. It goes a long way for personality points!
Jussi !! Your a
top world human in my mind!! So much joy and love emanate from this guy! Hope simon know the chance he have! Great video Simon !
It takes a real man to smile through adversity. Good luck in 2020 !
Omg I love this video. Simon I always love watching you because you're always having fun and it reminds me why I love the game.
This video really will help me remember that more even when I get those double bogeys. Keep up the great work
That was fantastic! What a fabulous perspective!
i can see the pressure you feel looking at your past mistakes with the man that pays you lol just like you said your are laughing, but crying inside. that's why your my favorite pro Disc golfer! such an honest & cool dude! your boss too hes so positive on your mistakes, he sees the good you did with the bad.
Funny and heartwarming. Please do this every year 😊
Great video! 100% agree with Jussi- watching the human side of you is what makes you one of the most fun players to watch! Looking forward to next year’s video- though hope it’s shorter (fewer DBs!)
Amazing words of wisdom from the Boss! Super cool 👍
Painful and yet so funny to watch :D. Thanks Simon, you are one of the greatest!
6:48 “i was thinking oo spahgeti”
How you handle those mistakes is great! You are our hero👍
This is one of the most wholesome disc golf videos I've ever seen.
I love the all or nothing style! Even when it doesn't work out, no one else has the swagger you do on the tee pad. Also, I think it's only fair you make a reaction video to your 2019 highlights next.
Its good to watch your worst moments and learn from them your one of the best in the world keep your head up and win the worlds man
Great video. The only Discmania I bag is a SkyGod but after watching this I want to get more. I like to support companies with good ethics. And between what I've seen of you and what I saw of Jussi in this video, I'd say Discmania is definitely one of those. Keep at it fellas. We're rooting for ya!
I feel like having the human highlight reel devoting a video to his double bogies with his boss watching and wondering why he is doing this shows that hes not only human but can recognize his mistakes and is humble enough to point out his own flaws with the classic Simon self disappointment.
Good stuff.
Especially for newer players.
Even if you can throw 600' double bogies still happen.
Wow! I need a new boss. Amazing insight he gives you. Great you are able to keep your composure so well. I know for a fact getting mad don't help my throwing any. Great video 👍👏
Great video..for players of all skill levels and various aspects of life. We all get caught up in failures and forget to celebrate the opportunity presented to us. Always a pleasure to see you play. "Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome." - Booker T. Washington
This was great. Some heartbreaking moments, but with a great lesson!
"and it's a par 5 too, so a double bogey is like double hurt" 😂
Very impressive how you handle the disappointments. Definitely a big part of having great game. Good luck out there man🥏
Simon, this is why you’re one of the most popular players on tour...you’re honest and funny. Jussi is great!
Very wholesome vibe! Always smile!
Just got my first edition of the mystery box after seeing your video about it and I loved it! 10/10 would recommend it, can't wait for my second edition to come in as well!
Seeing that missed eagle putt at Throwdown still breaks my heart now! By far the most impressive drive I've ever seen!
Dang Simon, you have a great boss! Nicely done. 😃
"I laugh outside, and I cry inside." Simon cracks me up.
I'm calling it. Simon is either 2020 worlds or usdgc champion. You read it here first!!!!
Lord Sauron agreed. I found myself watching this thinking man I really hope he gets a world championship. Been following Simon a little more heavily this year and throughout all of his live golf appearances, personal video uploads, and interviews, one word comes to mind in regards to Simon. Genuine. He is just a genuine human being with a one of a kind personality and I wish him nothing but the best for his 2020 season and career.
I wish this would happen, but I just can't see it.
I hope you are right. Really do. Simon or Eagle.
well...
@@austinshields8627 Yeah, I cost myself $100 with my younger brother that Biden wouldn't be elected so I'm swinging at everypitch without ever coming close to the fence at all!! Go 2020!!!
Great video concept and execution. Keep up the good work!
Simon, you're probably the best ambassador the sport has. Can't wait to watch you in 2020!
It was so painful to watch you missing those shots. Good video, and keep up the good work with these and with your shots ;)
A - Excellent work, Simon.
Fantastic video!! Definitely agree with him: it’s an interesting perspective to watch the game from. Thanks for setting such a great example!!
You’re definitely the most fun and light hearted player on the field. Don’t punch the ground like Eagle! Although, Eagle played really well throwing forehand with his hand wrapped hahaha. Cheers!
If only you could see the 2022 version of Simon. Dude has always been a force 💪🏻
You have one of the coolest bosses wish mine was like that And good luck for the next season
