Dropping your head on a turn
The point is never over until it's over. Never give up on a play no matter how bad you screw up on offense. The best thing you can do after blowing it on O is to turn around and get a freaking sweet D.
Getting beat to the cone
You're going to get scored on. It's a part of ultimate. However, making it easy for the other team is not an option. Never ever get beat to the front cone on the force side in the endzone.
Getting beat deep
This is by far the worst thing you can do on defense. It gives the other team an easy goal and keeps their offense fresh. Always keep your man in front of you. You can always layout forward, but it's dang near impossible to layout when the disc is going over your head.
Switching the force
Always, always, always, know where the force is. If you don't, then yell and ask, but this is something that should be discussed on the line before every point regardless of if you're on offense or defense. When you hear the force, always echo it so your teammates are also aware.
Getting stalled
You should never ever get stalled out. Even if you have no one on the field to throw to, the disc should never be in your hands when you hear the "T" of ten. If you hit stall 8 or 9 and you still have nothing, chuck that bad boy as far down the field as you can.
Not running through your cut
NEVER EVER STOP YOUR CUT! If you make a cut you better make sure you are sprinting the whole time, 'cause as soon as you slow down or God forbid stop you're going to get layout D'd.
Standing still with the disc
Pivot! Never stop moving when you're holding the disc. Just because you're not a handler doesn't mean you don't have to pivot. Keep the defense on their toes and never give them a good read on where you're going to throw the disc.
