The Total Quidditch. Podcast- Episode 30: Augie Monroe

 

Greatness, Accountability and Gratitude- Augie Monroe

For our series finale, we had the pleasure of a long chat with Augie Monroe. Widely considered as the greatest quidditch player of all-time, Augie talks us through his most recent MLQ title win with Austin Outlaws, how he spent the last year without quidditch getting invested in a new hobby, his quidditch journey through the University of Texas program and now with his own team (Texas Cavalry). We discuss the broader topics of leadership, tactical innovation and his reputation as the GOAT of quidditch as well as his adventures abroad with the US National team and also when he went to South America to play and coach there.

Match Analysis: EQC 2019 Quarter Final- Titans Paris vs Antwerp QC

Hello and happy new year! Firstly, apologies for the lack of content, I'm aware it's been a LONG time since I've published an article. The plan is to get back to producing at least one per month but as always, I can't promise anything. So, to get things going in 2020, I thought I'd take a look at one of the biggest matches of 2019 in European quidditch. Rivalries are undeniably what makes sport so compelling and in quidditch they don't come much bigger than the one between Titans Paris and Antwerp QC A. The two sides have faced off against each other on multiple occasions over the past few years not just as themselves but also as France and Belgium respectively with their players making up much of the core of both national teams. With both teams topping their groups after Day 1, sadly they were fated to meet prematurely in the quarter final rather than meeting in the EQC final like they did in 2016 and 2018.

This week, the quidditch world was rocked by the tragic news of Antwerp QC announcing that they will no longer exist as a club with immediate effect. Guest writer Nick De Leu (Player & Coach for Ghent Gargoyles and player with the Belgian Gryffins- the Belgian national team) reflects on Antwerp's influence on European quidditch at the end of their 7 year existence while also taking into consideration various perspectives on the Dodos' legacy from prominent figures in the European quidditch community.  Extinction event: remembering how Antwerp QC helped shape European quidditch by Nick De Leu Antwerp QC A celebrating winning EQC 2017. Photo Credit- Antwerp Quidditch Club/Bruggeling Quidditch Photography The end of Antwerp QC was a bombshell for European Quidditch. The generation that claimed EQC 2017 and formed the core of a Belgian squad that earned silver at World Cup 2018 is calling it quits, and there are no successors to continue the franchise. But the team will be re...
