- I had an impromptu chat with Juliana Korver, 5 time world champion, and we talked about the things we have learned through our titles and what we are still working on. I really enjoyed this conversation and am still pondering some of the insights she shared with me!

Hey Paige, I honestly do not follow professional disc golfers because of their winning status. I choose to follow pros who uplift, teach and encourage others in the sport. Keep reaching for new goals and whatever brings you peace in the game.
Thank you, more professionals need to hear this. This is exactly what I'm striving for, I play because I love the sport!
Two masters of their sport, clilling and reminiscing. Awesome ladies.
Thank you, I'm so happy you enjoyed!
Two awesome people discussing how to stay awesome even when they're unimpressed with their awesome accomplishments. Let's see how it plays out... love you both by the way!
Wow, what an awesome perspective. Your worth is never found in just one thing. There's so many things you can place your value on, being an advocate for the sport, being a good sister, friend, daughter. So many things have so much value and this is such a good reminder to myself that there's so much to life and accomplishments are great and all but it doesn't have to be all you focus on. Thank you ladies for this inspiring conversation!
Wow, that was an incredible real conversation between to champions. Great wisdom. Thx for sharing!
Of course, it was awesome that the GK pro guys were able to capture it!
Beautiful, authentic conversation. It is the normal cycle for all careers. It doesnt even matter if you reach the very top or not. There is a point where the motivation that started the career drops, and meaningfulness becomes a nagging question. There are always tradeoff to a singular focus. Over time, what was given up, becomes more salient. Finding enjoyment in a fabulous shot is one way to sustain a career. Finding a way to give to others in another. Many successful people start foundations to give more meaning to their lives. Fame can be cashed in and shared. Some choose to restart with something new, like taking on Freestyle, or the investment broker who takes up painting. Careers have natural cycles and existential moments. Being authentic and asking those who have already experienced what you are feeling is a wise approach to finding your path, Page. Thanks for sharing.
I couldn't agree more! There are so many different levels and turns that shape us who we are. Thanks for this comment!
What an awesome conversation you both allowed us to sit in on! I think understanding the mental, emotional & physical drive you both have is what sets world champs apart. Some of us may want that title & even strive for it, but the dedication, discipline & constant hard work is something the average player just doesn’t have. You ladies are truly inspiring💕🥏⛓💥
Thank you so much for sharing
This video is awesome in so many ways. Thank you both for sharing this.
Life is life and having purpose driven life with goals and expectations is wonderful. Athletes in all sports reach same pleatues In their careers. Is this who I am and good to see Paige looking at her world differently and seeing the endless possibilities and what direction in life and her career. I can't wait to see her development and directions she takes. Good luck, Paige on where you go and what you accomplish.
Thank you for this comment and the support, it means a lot!
what an awesome video. Such valuable insight and conversation. These moments contain more value than most even realize. Just a simple chat. Thank you for sharing this, and reminding me of the value of simply connecting.
Both of you are describing the thoughts and feelings of anyone who has reached top-level sucess in their field. This could be anything from music, acting, car racing or tennis. I felt it when I was building my house. The planning, anticipation, problem-solving, training and doing was a rush. Once finished, there was that let-down. You both were touching on it. Making the great drive or the clutch circle 2 putt is fantastic. But once you have the trophy in your hand, the let-down begins. If you invest your happiness in disc golf as Julianna described, you may run the risk of driving yourself into a depression. Some people may engage in unhealthy behaviors to alleviate that negative feeling. Being the best player is great, but you should think of leveraging that experience and exposure to find other avenues of self-growth. You could encourage schools to add disc golf to their athletic programs. Or become a spokesperson to get the sport added to the Olympics. Julianna left the sport to grow in the IT field. Paige seems to be poised to become the Arnold Palmer of disc golf and bring more young people, especially girls, into the sport. Fabulous interview. I am keeping this clip to show my grand nieces.
Thank you for your insight on this!! I feel like it needs to be spoken about more, but sometimes it's a difficult thing to process let alone talk about it!
This is crazy interesting and I thank both of you ladies for the truth that you are speaking.
Thank you, sometimes it's tough to talk about the difficult stuff but it's definitely important. I'm lucky I have someone to relate to with this specific topic!
@@paigepiercediscgolf Super cool that you replied. Makes me feel special for a moment. Thank you for all that you do for our sport.
I really liked the talk about self-worth being wrapped up in what you do. If you value yourself based on what did accomplish vs what you could accomplish then your value is directly related to your mental state in an even more tangible way than normal. Obviously, your self-worth will be dependent on your mental state but using a formula like that to determine your value is guaranteeing that you will think poorly of yourself at times. No one can accomplish everything all the time. I often have to remind myself that the fact that I keep trying despite my setbacks is valuable enough to believe in myself.
This is gonna really come in handy when I win 5 world championships..........
The Juliana content is awesome. Such a amazing conversation. Thank you.
JK is awesome! Aww this is the best video I've seen in a long time
She really is! Thanks for the kind words!
Hi Paige, this was a very interesting video. My real comment however is on a different subject: I put and approach with one of my three Fierces. I just got two Passion first runs, blue and green. Could you maybe design a disc less pretty so I can throw them?
That's amazing, thank you for the support and I'll get working on that right away 😂
2 amazing women, disc golfers, and role models. Thanks for posting this!
Juliana is awesome. And you too Paige.
She really is!
I want more videos like this! Thanks Paige.
One side hobby I have picked up since playing and have gotten pretty good at is looking for my disc in roughs.
You are an inspiration Paige
Awesome chat! I think relationship is another big part of it in terms of an area to find value. Nothing helps you find value like being valued as a person (not just as an accomplish-er). To find that, you have to let someone know you as a person in deep friendship and in vulnerable areas where you aren't accomplishing up to your standards.
As a Christian I believe this ties in to God's love for us (which is such a process to understanding because we want to earn/deserve that too). In Chip Dodd's Voice of the Heart he talks about self-esteem vs self worth. Perhaps an artificial distinction but basically saying that when we fail to receive the intrinsic worth that God places on us, we strive to create self-esteem through accomplishment.
Anyway, good stuff to be working through! Mindset by Carol Dweck is also good in terms of seeing the difference between identity in outcome vs identity as someone who's growing. Also very good although not quite as deep as figuring out receiving and experiencing love that's not tied to performance.
Love this! 🥰
Thank you, I'm happy you enjoyed it!
Okay, so this was only to make me emotional... 😳
🥲
Great stuff
Lots of wisdom from a "Rookie of the Year" lol. Great conversation!
Balance
Paige is kind of describing the flow state of a highly competitive precision oriented round. Your shots go where you want, and everything flows great. That can usually mean a winning round for these two.
Welcome to Pensacola. I'd love to play a round with you some time in the future.
What course are they at?
@@FizzyP this is at maple hill in Massachusetts
@@FizzyP PP recently bought a house in Pensacola
@@davidcash6370 Oh cool. I've had a lot of fun playing disc golf around there.
Have a life, not just one thing you live for.
Who's skinnier Juliana or Paige? The real question
Like
This reminded me of Donald Trump at one of his rallies talking about how they're gonna win so much that they'll be tired of winning.
Don't you know were having Disc Golf WITHDRAWS! Give us a practice round already lol
