Kristin you are amazing. Don’t ever let the critics win. You are an inspiration to the majority of us disc golfers driving to get better. Thank you for your honesty and example!
I just started playing this year and you have been a huge motivator. I am a 68 year old woman, was always an athlete and eventually had to have knees replaced. I was looking for a sport…I play golf (traditional) but find it boring! I got my first discs on Amazon…and went to find a course. My partner and I were horrible…max throws about 80’! So I went to TH-cam to see how to throw and then started watch the disc golf network! Immediately you were my favorite pro….so controlled and poised. You inspire!
Kristen has such a positive attitude in general and it really is refreshing to see. I look forward to seeing her for many years to come. Keep up the good work, Champ!
Kristin is so thoughtful and reflective. And funny! And oh by the way, the best disc golfer in the world. Fantastic interview, thank you both so much. - Benjamin
You are amazing. I show videos of you to my 6 year old daughter telling her, "she is the best". Don't let negative people bother you and please keep kicking butt so my daughter can continue to look up to you.
72M disc golfer here. I love you outlook on life, your a wonderful and beautiful person and don't let people get you down, there's always a bad apple in the bunch.
Kristin you deserve the world. Keep your head up. You're an inspiration to everybody, including the youth. You're very well spoken and insightful. Rooting for you out here in the USA
Great interview. First of all, congratulations on getting Married. As a fan I want to thank you for being so humble and just a great person first. You have brought so much class to this sport, and it's very enjoyable to watch you play disc golf. Unfortunately, in the world we live in celebrities and sports stars get all kinds of criticism. You seem to know what's really important in life. Stay true to yourself and don't listen to the nay sayers. Best of luck to you in your disc golf future, but more importantly in your life. I hope you find what you're looking for outside of disc golf, because that's what matters most! God bless.
Wonderful interview, and a very mature conversation. Well done Jonathan, well done Kristin, and well done Lat 64 for promoting such an honest conversation. Love this!
I fell in love with this sport 3 1/2 years ago when I needed some type of exercise while I am battling brain cancer. There is no other professional I would rather watch then Kristen. It's one thing to be the best at your sport but she stands out even more as a good person.
There are those who will always hate successful people. They are jealous of your accomplishments. They want to tear you down so that they can feel better about themselves. Pay no attention to them. Believe in the ones who appreciate your accomplishments; your fans. You are a wonderful example for both the FPO and the entire disc golf world. Your fans love you for your skills, ethics and your humbleness. I wish you years of success in your professional life and in your personal life.
By far my favorite FPO player. Kristin you are truly awesome on and off the course. Stay humble and keep doing what you're doing. You are a big inspiration to me and a lot of other disc golfers.
One of the best to ever play the game. Thank you so much for doing what you do, with class, grace, and humility, and for letting us tag along as spectators. Enjoy your offseason.
Victim mentality is a real thing, and being conscious enough to move through without diving deep into the negative is quite an amazing accomplishment. Stay awesome Kristin
Kristin, great job this 2024 season. Congrats on getting married and also on all the great disc golf that you played this year. Wishing you continued success on next year's season.
Head on her shoulders person, who deserves all she has worked for, and the respect that goes with it. Shout out once more to Latitude 64 for opening up the sport not only with great product but how it is used, but to ask them how they do what it takes.. To have great players contracted to them makes certain they are a "force" to be considered, and enjoyed.
You are an inspiration to me. Keep going! Congratulations on your marriage! 🎉❤🎉 My first date with my husband of 7 years was disc golf. I fell in love with him and disk golf.
I'd like to know more about 11:59 when she mentions putting more spin on the disc and that the men (likely MPOs) are throwing too hard. I'd be curious to see the technique she's specifically using for spin. Has she demonstrated that before? Personally I'd like it more for backhand though.
I look at your calm demeanor and what appears to be serene and steady temperament and it is an inspiration. You go to a tournament and execute like a champion every time and seem to do it with humility and an attitude of camaraderie with your fellow competitors. To me, that is what a great champion looks like. On top of all that, you are beautiful as well. I hope you have a great season next year.
Great interview! You speak from the heart...enjoy following you and the women's tour. Winnie the Pooh says, "The things that make me different are the things that make me".
To quote Theodore Roosevelt in his Citizen in a Republic speech "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." Critics for the most part are people who do not dare do what they criticize or are unable to achieve. Keep up the good work and overcoming.
Christin you are an amazing human being and such an inspiration to so many in our sport that we love. thank you best of luck in 2025 and congratulations on your wedding 🎉🎉🥳👏❤️
Don't let a minor technicality get you off your game Kristin ! The fact that you built your career as a single mom is an amazing achievement. Congrats to you and Silver and good luck in 2025 !
There are only 2 celebrities I'd love to meet and have a good conversation with, and Kristin Tattar is one of them (Mila Kunis would be the second). There is so much wisdom in her words and she has the ability to break down her issues in such a relatable way. I find her really intriguing and almost disarmingly humble, while still remaining this confident woman. Lucky you Jonathan! :) Good luck with everything Kristin. You have a strong foundation with Silver and I'm sure you'll have some really good friends and family around you that will be able to help you through the tough times.
You are a champion , it comes with a lot of scrutiny. A lot of people are negative . Don’t let it get to you , just be the champion you are and stay focused on what matters .
I thoroughly enjoy listening to her discuss the importance understanding the self. She has done a ton of reflection and her peace of mind shows. She's definitely listened to Dr. Joe Dispenza, Tolle, Dyer, and others. Thank you for inspiring, and educating others.
If your favorite player can't win, if someone is better and stronger out on the course, or the envy start to eat you away, just dig deep into your worst self and plant some seeds of ill will. If nothing else "helps" try to take out someone with rumors and accusations. Yeah.. let's do that. If it was me facing those people i would give up. But not you Kristin. You dig down to your inner core and find solutions, strength and determination. What does that do? Well it makes you the number one FPO player in the world. Congratulations to 1000 rating. Congratulations to your marriage and congratulations to have the strongest beliefs in yourself about what you can achieve. You are amazing and such an inspiration to so many players and lovers of disc golf out there. Jonathan, tack för en förbannat bra intervju!
People complaining about C2 are losing their crap over at most a couple millimeters... Do they really think a foot being a fraction of an inch above the ground at the exact moment of release is going to give someone an unfair advantage enough to equate to accusing them of cheating? And such that you can't even tell in real time, you have to have a super high frame rate camera that enables you to watch frame by frame over fractions of a second so you can have your aha moment and see that a blade of grass moved... Really? If it was a deal, the other card mates or tournament officials would have called it. But honestly, it's a stupid rule anyways, And I agree with Brodie, that they could really make some interesting stuff if the regulation was simply you had to have a supporting point behind the lie and you can't touch any ground in front of that before the disc is released, then you could have some really cool stuff where someone is stuck behind a tree or a bush, and they do a sideways diving forehand from midair and really at a pretty interesting dynamic. The PDGA needs to focus on rules that actually affect gameplay and need to remove vagueness. So you've got to have a supporting point in the box behind the lie, no supporting point can touch the ground anywhere in front of that when the disc is released. There, done. The rule is clear, it's easy to tell if someone is violated it, and anything that doesn't violate this is not going to give anyone an advantage. I mean that's a big difference between step putting in C2 and jump putting in C2, step putting your only moving one foot at a time so there's almost no chance of violating this, whereas jump putting you're moving both feet at once, and you're talking about a fraction of a second. That just invites nitpicking that has no significance.
If the other card mates dont call the violation then it doesnt matter. People were complaining about James Proctors putt that won him MVP Open, turns out you slow that one down and it is a “legal” putt. Even if it wasnt nobody called him on it in a moment where everyone was watching.
I am SO TIRED of the jump putt warz and the people constantly complaining about jump putting being Overpowered or whatever. However! The advantage gained in a stance violation is real. Think of it this way: having to consciously work to time it so that your foot is down presents a disadvantage. If you are convinced that you are throwing a legal shot (or are simply comfortable ignoring the rule on the grounds that close is close enough) then the pressure to make sure it's legal is relieved, and you will be more accurate. Your recommendations prove this: you want people to be able to leave their lie prior to throwing, dive, etc. because it would be interesting and more shots would be possible. This line of thought concedes the point that leaving your lie early presents a competitive advantage. Hence, under the existing rules, Kristin is committing a repeated violation conferring some benefit, and it's a bad look for fans to pretend otherwise or minimize it b/c it happens to be their favorite player who is doing it most visibly. I predict Kristin will handle this well, and I can understand if she and / or fans get frustrated with language like 'cheater.' But the fact is that it's the responsibility of players and particularly players of Kristin's caliber to adhere to the rules in a self-regulated sport. Fans should support her in taking this seriously and in training to take this flaw out of her game, rather than stomp their feet insisting "a couple of millimeters" doesn't matter when it obviously does matter both for the competitive edge it confers and for the integrity of competition in general.
@overfiend75 That would be a logical argument if she was flying through the air like Michael Jordan or something before releasing the disc, but these people are nitpicking frame by frame at a fraction of a second, so no, there is no advantage whatsoever in that instance to the point that these people are complaining about. We're not talking that she is a couple feet in the air or even several inches, most of the cases people are complaining about we're talking a fraction of an inch that you can't even tell without going frame by frame. If you can't even see a violation without ultra slow motion replay, it's got no business being called. But ultimately my main point is, it's a stupid rule anyway and they need to just get rid of it. Who cares if their feet are touching the ground, as long as they started behind their lie? If someone wants to complain that there is an advantage, then practice and learn it! Or the other option, just get rid of jump putts completely and keep the same putting rules. But there shouldn't be any rule in existence in any sport that is completely invisible to the naked eye without frame-by-frame slow motion replay.
@@howdyhey4985 exactly. And my main point is, there shouldn't even be a rule that is that precise that you can't easily tell it was a violation anyway.
Definitely a stupid rule; if it's their style of putting, all it does is take the concentration of making the putts to worrying about not touching the ground when releasing the disc. Maybe someone would be willing to dive putt just to win a tournament. It would be awesome to see.
Yeah! Life is ups and downs! Just keep having fun while going to tour and that is the most important point in sport like frisbeegolf. It´s you a job but having fun is good way of keep going in the long run.
I swear if her putting is cheating, every single men’s player that ever jump putted is cheating…and I look. To accuse this woman of doing things the men do as cheating is just jealousy from catty losers who either don’t know the rules, or don’t care to apply them to every player. Are they calling any other women or men cheaters that jump putt? I doubt it. And that’s hypocrisy, sexism and the terrible loser mentality fostered in people desperate to bring someone at the top of their game down because they can’t come up. It’s just sad.
If you’re talking about her jump putt then it was against the rules. Thats why she stopped jump putting. She talked about it on Tourlife. And it was goobers on Reddit called it out not competitors. Men get called out for exactly the same thing all the time, there’s no sexist narrative here.
Part of the problem is the rules. It’s difficult to judge whether a jump putt is legal or not. Higher profile players get more cameras on them, and the majority of illegal jump putts feel legal to the player. Personally I think for pros expand the circle to c2. It’s impossible to enforce and some players get disproportionate attention despite my belief she hasn’t intentionally cheated during her professional career.
@@bashildy yeah you’re absolutely correct. Yes her jump putt was technically breaking the rules. Her competitors didn’t call it out and it only came under scrutiny because she is a top player who is frequently on camera. One of the less than ideal parts of disc golf as a sport currently.
@@leastselfawarepotassium Yeah, it's rare to get anything called on a card outside of maybe time violations. Hell I play MA-3 and MA-4 and the only times i've seen something called was incorrect by a guy who didn't understand you don't have to be directly behind the marker, that it's a sheet of paper that any body part can touch to produce a legal lie. If we make the circle for professionals C2, then there isn't the gamesmanship of having to ask the card if you are in the circle, nor is there the advantage of being 35 feet out as opposed to 32 in which a 35 jumper/stepper is far easier than a 32 still putt. Everyone would rather have a 50 footer than a 70 foot stepper.
I look forward to supporting the rest of the FPO players. The long, long list of people who show up to play, show up to compete, show up to enjoy what they love, all while being minimalized by the KT hype machine. She's good. That's nice. She's not the only one playing. It's just as bad with 3-4 MPO players. On one hand you can name the same names you hear all year, as if no one else ever throws a good shot, plays a good hole, improves... it's just the chosen few that get attention. Again, yeah, they're good. Cool. I'd rather watch others. If any of the chosen few are playing, you're not going to find coverage of events if it doesn't include one or most of them. Anyone else who finds themselves in the background becomes like a reminder that there's an entire field of other players who actually make up the PDGA, and who fill out the events.
Kristin you are amazing. Don’t ever let the critics win. You are an inspiration to the majority of us disc golfers driving to get better. Thank you for your honesty and example!
What this person said! 👆🏻 Keep on keeping on KT! ❤
I could only wish to be the person you are. Incredible talent ❤
We can't always win even if we're one of the greatest. And sometimes winning isn't about beating the competition, it's about beating the bad thoughts.
What a classy human. I look forward to watching you play next year Kristin!
Her and Ohn were already my favorites. This only confirms why. Great stuff. ❤
Best interview I have seen in a long while. Thanks!
Thank you ♥️
Disc Golf has hit the jackpot with Kristin ... the role model we have needed to take the game to the world. Great interview Jonathon.

Or the other option, just get rid of jump putts completely and keep the same putting rules. But there shouldn't be any rule in existence in any sport that is completely invisible to the naked eye without frame-by-frame slow motion replay.
@@howdyhey4985 exactly. And my main point is, there shouldn't even be a rule that is that precise that you can't easily tell it was a violation anyway.
Definitely a stupid rule; if it's their style of putting, all it does is take the concentration of making the putts to worrying about not touching the ground when releasing the disc. Maybe someone would be willing to dive putt just to win a tournament. It would be awesome to see.
Wow. What a powerfull mind set on life and competing. Wise words 🤩😍
Such a great awesome Lady. She is so down to earth. Congrats on there Marriage. Salute!
Yeah! Life is ups and downs!
Just keep having fun while going to tour and that is the most important point in sport like frisbeegolf.
It´s you a job but having fun is good way of keep going in the long run.
Kristin is next level. She deserves every good thing she has and more!
Good stuff 👏
Disc golf reddit is a joke.
What a waste of her valuable time to have to respond to such ridiculous accusations! Go Kristin!!!
Well it was obviously on her mind so talking about it publicly might be something good for her.
@@ZOROASTED I do hope so!
keep doing you Kristin, when your at the top people always try to pull you off.
Create chapters (on youtube) for interviews please. 🙂
Critics, it's their personal opinion. Not Yours! Your a great example to all of us.
its sad that the favourite course she picked in the entire world is going to get demolished after next year. just because of house building
I believe this is wrong, isn't the beast the one that is going to be no more and Tampere is the new Euro Open course?
Yeah how dare people want to have housing.
This is a woman, ladies and gentlemen. Married, kids, self accountability. Unlike most the women in tour.
Wow Kristen. You are absolutely beautiful in your wedding picture! Congrats to you and Silver.
Cool. Good luck next year!
A truly remarkable human.
Also - what was up with the little box in the lower left corner? Is it covering something?
Haha yeah was just her name there that was a bit distracting. Which I "fixed" with a box that made it more distracting ,😅 /Jonathan
It AI.
Such a guy question “what’s your max distance.” Her answer “not sure.” Thats how important that question was.
I swear if her putting is cheating, every single men’s player that ever jump putted is cheating…and I look. To accuse this woman of doing things the men do as cheating is just jealousy from catty losers who either don’t know the rules, or don’t care to apply them to every player. Are they calling any other women or men cheaters that jump putt? I doubt it. And that’s hypocrisy, sexism and the terrible loser mentality fostered in people desperate to bring someone at the top of their game down because they can’t come up. It’s just sad.
If you’re talking about her jump putt then it was against the rules. Thats why she stopped jump putting. She talked about it on Tourlife. And it was goobers on Reddit called it out not competitors. Men get called out for exactly the same thing all the time, there’s no sexist narrative here.
Part of the problem is the rules. It’s difficult to judge whether a jump putt is legal or not. Higher profile players get more cameras on them, and the majority of illegal jump putts feel legal to the player. Personally I think for pros expand the circle to c2. It’s impossible to enforce and some players get disproportionate attention despite my belief she hasn’t intentionally cheated during her professional career.
@@bashildy yeah you’re absolutely correct. Yes her jump putt was technically breaking the rules. Her competitors didn’t call it out and it only came under scrutiny because she is a top player who is frequently on camera. One of the less than ideal parts of disc golf as a sport currently.
@@leastselfawarepotassium Yeah, it's rare to get anything called on a card outside of maybe time violations. Hell I play MA-3 and MA-4 and the only times i've seen something called was incorrect by a guy who didn't understand you don't have to be directly behind the marker, that it's a sheet of paper that any body part can touch to produce a legal lie. If we make the circle for professionals C2, then there isn't the gamesmanship of having to ask the card if you are in the circle, nor is there the advantage of being 35 feet out as opposed to 32 in which a 35 jumper/stepper is far easier than a 32 still putt. Everyone would rather have a 50 footer than a 70 foot stepper.

#1 WOMAN disc golfer in the world. The number one disc golfer in the world is Gannon Buhr .
She seems to have access to some really good wisdom. Good for her.
I look forward to supporting the rest of the FPO players. The long, long list of people who show up to play, show up to compete, show up to enjoy what they love, all while being minimalized by the KT hype machine. She's good. That's nice. She's not the only one playing. It's just as bad with 3-4 MPO players. On one hand you can name the same names you hear all year, as if no one else ever throws a good shot, plays a good hole, improves... it's just the chosen few that get attention. Again, yeah, they're good. Cool. I'd rather watch others. If any of the chosen few are playing, you're not going to find coverage of events if it doesn't include one or most of them. Anyone else who finds themselves in the background becomes like a reminder that there's an entire field of other players who actually make up the PDGA, and who fill out the events.
I feel like nobody understands me every day
Discgolf is therapy
So many things she said was wow😊
Opinions from Reddit? Immediately throw in the trash.
Getting ripped on for c2 putting sucks, but in light of things, most FPO are getting criticized for their c1 putting.
