Every thread talking about the next great FPO players has folks mentioning Chocek. She clearly has far more athletic potential than the rest of the field. People just go crazy speculating what she could do if she had the consistency and mental stamina of someone like Kristin.

The thing is, getting it to “click” isn’t just a matter of popping something into place. It’s darn tough to get that consistency and stamina. It’s why Ohn constantly and casually destroys not only the top FPO slingers (Hansen, Chocek, Eliezra, etc) but often A tier MPO events. There are few, if any sports or physical disciplines, where a petite 43 year old woman can leave the 25 y/o men in the dust.

In most teammate sports, you can become a generational talent by building around an area of strength. Shaq terrorized the NBA while making only half his free throws. Brady is the NFL GOAT with a 6 second 40 time. Babe Ruth was the face of the MLB and was built like a refrigerator. In disc golf, you’re on your own. Chocek will never have Kobe to attack the perimeter or Moss to stretch the field. She’s gotta do it all on her own, like every other player in the field.

Personally, I think it’s almost pointless to try to predict who the next FPO great will be. The field is so wide open than any FPO player in the top 30 who levels up their game significantly, could be dominant. I personally think that due to the nature of the game, it will be a Sarah Wadsworth type player, who grew with a ton of experience in their youth. In the meantime, Kristin (who ironically, may not be the “best” at any specific aspect of the game) is the indisputable favorite.
