Last February, we held our first-ever dream practice draft. In this episode, the draft participants return to the podcast to re-evaluate our picks and to find out who won the popular vote.
Some of the topics we discuss:
* Which "dream practice" (besides our own) would we have voted for? (3:47)
* Which draft picks were we jealous of? (8:47)
* Practice ideas that we used at our own practices (14:51)
* The ideas we left "on the table" (21:40)
* How our "Honourable Mention" winner got their "celebrity guest" to vote for them (29:41)
* The first-ever winner of the 2022 "Dream Practice Draft" (34:02)
* What new idea will you bring to your practices next season? (37:59)
