Beginning in 2000, Anne Graves has competed in an average of six tournaments per year throughout the United States and Europe. She is perhaps best known for attending tournaments with her daughter in tow, fulfilling her desire to make the time on the road quality family time as well as frisbee time.
Anne has developed a style that centers around "execution" but she says that, "executing or catching isn't bailing out...it is finishing." In a recent interview she went on to say, "Freestyle, the way I imagine it in my mind, is finished moves with catches strung together. When I play I am determined to find the zone between digging very deeply for my own personal best and figuring out what is possible in the moment. My love of the game is only surpassed by the skill of the many excellent players with whom I have had the opportunity to compete."
