- Here's a 13 minute throw back to how it all began, where I came from and how I got to where I'm at today. There's too many people to thank along the way, so I just want to say THANK YOU to everyone. The best thing about this is that I'm just getting started. So many more things to do and achieve!

You may not know really what you do for disc golf, but I can tell you that so many of us love to watch you play. You have inspired so many of us to be better at the sport we love and it's videos like this that really show who you are. In my words, genuine. I messaged you once asking for a driving clinic video and you did even more than that. You broke down my drive and told me what to do. I fully expected no response but I was completely wrong. With your direction, I have improved my game greatly and I will be forever thankful for your time. I wish that one day I could inspire people the way you have. To be better, to bring happiness to others, and to help others who need it. Thank you for all you do for the sport we love and keep on pushing forward in your dreams. You have many of us rooting you on!
Truth!
This!
Simon owning this RUclips thing.
kids destroying it
It's time to repost this Simon, it is such a good watch. Long time disc golfers and newcomers will enjoy. Also you have so much you can add; marriage, fatherhood, and another meteoric rise, post injury, to people's champion. Thank you
PS- people's champion for a long time, maybe was unsaid before.
Brought me to tears. ,but i'm an old guy. We get emotional easy. Lol... Very inspiring. Thank you Simon! I'll be 45 this yr... and am still waiting for my first Adv. Masters win. Took 2nd a couple times last yr., but always seem to "give it away" in the final few holes. I'm really hoping for a win this season. Wish me luck. :)
Good luck!
You'll get it!
Only as old as you feel! Started slinging at 43 last year.
Me too but I'm really an old guy. Kids anyhow. 😉 I'll be 64 this year.
Keep it up James! The win will come!
I'll never forget watching your 3 eagles on the front nine of the 2017 GBO. I kept score for your card, the Tournament director thought I messed up your scores after the front 9 lol
After watching this video, I actually was thinking about just that round and whether it was 2 or 3 eagles! :)
Where tf is this video? I've looked everywhere and there is no evidence of a single eagle. Not even on the main card after round 1.

Doesn't matter how many times I watch this, I still feel lucky just to see this guy throw frisbees
It's very important that people like Simon have the awesome attitude they do. Though disc golf is still a relatively small sport, having a good role model for kids that models respect, positivity and hard work is essential to creating a good sport culture that's accepting and supportive of new players. My favorite part of the whole video is when Simon says he got good at the sport because he had so much FUN when he played well. Fun is fun of course, but if people can have fun when they do their job or anything in life, success is much more likely! Thanks for being a role model Simon.
Now let's get more young GIRLS on disc golf courses! Inclusion!!!
4:30 didn't realize MJ used to use a forehand roller putt, interesting
Lol I think he was trying to bounce it into the basket...... xD
Nice catch!
haha I knew it that I'm not the only one who saw it
@@jakerasmussen7835 That is what I think as well. He was just goofing off.
@@caseysmith544It feels good to know that Im not the only one who has tried that xD
LOVE it!!! Thanks for letting us in, Simon!
You have quickly become my favorite player. Not because of your world class game but your down to earth personality. No prima donna attitude but a sincere love for the game and the fans. As an elder in life I can recognize those who are genuine in their talk and walk. Doesn't hurt that we are deutsch homeys. Viel Glück im Jahr 2019.
I hate that i only found disc golf at the age of 35 :( , zero to slim chance of ever reaching the same greatness you are obtaining Simon!
I'm a 41 year old kid and you made me smile. Great story. Good luck making more memories in 2019.
I think this is your best video to date
As an American we love you brah. Lets go!!!!
Simon I’m not exactly a kid, I’m 18, but I just started disc golfing less than a month ago and you have been one of my biggest inspirations! Thank you so much!!!
That was beautifully written, thanks for sharing that Simon.
All smiles watching this, knowing one day Dad Lizotte's son will watch this and realize what a cool amazing father he got!
Simon, I am 52 years old, have been playing for about 6 years now. You are far and above the coolest pro out there, in my opinion. Keep it up man! You keep me motivated when I don't have much motivation. I suffered a back injury in 2017 which forced me to retire from my job. The injury limits my mobility and I have spent a lot of time sitting around at home. I have put on too much weight, which exacerbates my condition. I get out every now and then to play. Since i have started watching your channel, I find myself more motivated to play. I will get out there more, thanks to you. Have a great 2020 and Thank You.
Inspirational, Simon! Thanks for sharing your story -and for everything else you bring to the sport!
Great story Simon, thanks for sharing that. Really great!
The Climo story is awesome. I met Kenny a couple weeks ago on his home course. Helped him install some gold tee boxes, trim some trees and pull weeds. Went back a week later to help some more and he saw me and remembered my name. Ment alot because I'm sure he meets new people every day and I know how hard it is for me to remember someone's name I just met 5 minutes later.
Great story Simon. Best wishes for 2019 and beyond.
I am to old to be a kid except for maybe at heart but just started playing disc golf a year ago and I look up to ya Simon great work good luck this year
Very smart and humble Simon. You're one of my favorite players to watch. Always having fun and never getting upset like a lot of other pros. Keep up the good work on RUclips brother
Wow Simon you truly are the best. Not only do you make kids smile but awestruck adults like me to. No one makes disc golf more fun than Simon thank you for being an amazing face for a great game. I can not say thanks enough.

Actually teared up. Thank you Simon, your love of the sport is so genuine and contagious. I hope you see how amazing your impact has been on the sport, you truly are an inspiration.
Awesome career story. You are doing great and I may be a lot older than you but you do influence me in disc golf. Keep it up 💪🏻

Keep being you Simon!! You are one that makes this sport what it is. I love watching you throw the shots that nobody else has thought of and that makes you fun to watch.

You tell your story very well , thank you for sharing it with us and rock on!!!
Crazy to think how far you've come from when this video was uploaded. You are my favorite disc golfer because not only are you talented you just seem like such a good human and embody disc golf in such a warm way. Stoked to see the 10 year update to this video down the road!
You’ve always been my favorite player ever since I started getting into disk golf and watching video coverage of it. Definitely a big inspiration to get out and just play because you love it. Not for money or just to win. I could tell that just by the way you play.
You are a class act. I'll be rooting for you this season.
2019 will be awesome! Can't wait to see you defend the memorial title. Good luck!
Love you Simon !! can’t believe how far youve come ! keep up the amazing work can’t wait to meet you one day
Wow 😲 I just sat back and enjoyed every minute of it. What a story! So good to see that when you set your mind to it anything is possible. Keep going man! You are an inspiration 🙏🏻
Simon, you have my total respect. Huge love for your journey.
Thank you for sharing this story. You're awesome, dude!
Wow, you really are inspirational Simon. Love your work, all the best in 2019 dude, just beat them all and have fun!
This is so inspiring. I'm a 17-year-old boy trying my hardest to do the same as you did. Thank you for all of this amazing content and all the people you inspire to play disc golf! Much love.
Thank you for sharing! You are great and my favorite player to watch
You're not just making little kids smile, you're bringing some happiness and amazement to us older folks watching what you do and being equally amazed at some of your shots. Keep up the great work and I'll always be cheering for you!
Simon, you truly are 1 of a kind. Good for you on making it this far. Hoping you have an AWESOME year this year.
Always follow your heart, and never follow the money. That will make sure you always have plenty of money, and are always happy. Thanks for such a lovely story, Simon, aka German Frisbee Boy!
You’re the man! Keep up the good work!! Definitely my favorite player to follow
I'm sold on Simon. Like, I wish I could be the dude's friend. Also, his video on backhand form has tremendously helped my drive. Keep the youtube stuff coming. Love it!
Keep living the dream Simon! You rock man!
You have been and will remain my favorite player. I've watched all of your footage and try really hard to match your style of play. Keep it up brother, your living the dream.
Simon you are one of my favorites in the disc golf community. I liked the background story.
You are an inspiration for me and so many out there. Cant wait to see more of your game. Good luck this season.
I love you Simon!! I hope I get to meet you this year on tour! This year is gonna be amazing! (:
You're my favorite disc golf pro Simon! So humble yet such an amazing player. You deserve all your success!
5:10 is what I love about disc golf! Having a competitor happy that someone made it, is what it's all about.
Hands down! My favorite Disc golfer! U da ish Simon!! Do it big this year! #DiscNinjas4life
Such a great story. I am so happy for you. Your parents must be so proud of you. Great video and thank you for sharing.
I couldn't be more happy for you Simon. Keep blessing us with your phenomenal personality and I will continue to root for you every chance i get. God bless
Inspiring stuff Simon! Before you started making these videos I was pretty sure you were my favorite player. These have confirmed it. So grateful that you are a leading part of the game I love. A couple of months ago I saw you at turner park in Grand Prairie, Texas. You were on your phone with someone so I didn’t want to be rude and interrupt but you were still kind as I walked by and whispered “I’m a big fan”
Lol wish you all the best on the tour this year! Can’t wait to see you win!
This was very touching, thank you Simon you're an awesome role model and inspiration
I can't wait for the 2019 season!!! You are gonna be great.
This was an awesome watch. Thanks for sharing Simon.
Thank you for this Simon.
Keep smiling and do what you do and I guarantee you it'll keep bringing smiles to us as well.
Greatings from Sweden.

Thank you Simon for the video, you are an amazing person and we are all happy to have you in our disc golf family!! 🥏🥏🥏
Love this! Way to go Simon. I love that your genuinely nice. The biggest impact you could have on someone is to show interest when they come up to you because they are fans.
we love you man! you are truly an inspiration to us all!
Wow! Thanks for sharing Simon!
May be an old video but this was a gem to find scrolling thru. You're kicking butt in Oregon right now. Dad Simon is on another level. Good luck!
Quality video and great story!! Besides disc golf, you’re a natural at vlogging too
You are an amazing athlete! Thank you for this touching honest video!
Simon I'm proud to say I'm glad I watch what you do almost everyday on RUclips, along with other pros that I look up to. Ive been playing disc golf for three months straight to become a better player so I can go pro next year. I only hope that I can be as good as you one day. But like you said, its not just about getting good, I absolutely love disc golf. Again congrats bro! Keep it up.
You truly are the best!!! Cheers Simon!
Simon you are amazing and I appreciate you telling your story. I loved it. Listening to you talk about how you felt about the game and throwing frisbees at a young age gave me goosebumps. We know you love the game, it shows every time you play. This is why WE love you Simon. Thank you so much for sharing this. I will be watching it again.
You are freaking awesome Simon!!! I would absolutely love to play a round with Ken Climo
You are a class act my friend and I wish you the best in 2019. Hopefully I will get the chance to meet at The Memorial!
Awesome video Simon...thanks for sharing your disc golf story! Can't wait to see what is to come in the years ahead 😃
Awesome insight, My 10 year old son and I just picked up the sport a few months ago and are addicted. Played my first tournament this past weekend.. We enjoy watching your journey and keep being the positive role model for the next generation.
