“If you grab it, you own it…” I believe it was @ADRCoachDev who taught me that.

.@RiddellSports is sitting on the best tackling tech in the game and keeping it relatively quiet.
These @RichieGrayGSI dummies and shields are the absolute best on the market.
From Little League to the NFL, these are essential for teaching technique and finish.
Every program in the country needs them!
If you are a coach, go talk to your rep.

“3-breath tackle”
One of my favorite @RichieGrayGSI -sims and a great coachism to visualize a dominant, physical tackle.
I think I’ve dropped this one at every clinic since 2017.

When a batter is “sitting fastball”, the change up gets him.
When a defender is threatened by movement (tippy-toe chops his feet, anticipating the cut) the truck move works best.
When D sits for power (rooting the feet, ready to explode) the reacceleration leaves them for dead.

Another example of getting in on the ball to keep BC from extending close to the line.
Also, insane work rate and pursuit.
Interestingly, last man getting turned inside-out actually bought the time for help to get there
Sometimes the slow loss lets the calvery get on their horse.

Football coaches: just for fun.
Think about playing defense for 2:45 straight this close to your goal line and holding out….in a World Cup final no less.

Pure class. Andy Farrell plays a video from Irish boxer & world lightweight champion Katie Taylor. Inspirational - no wonder the Lions won the second test and clinched the series.

Angle Path doesn’t have to mean Angle Tackle.
“Square is Strong” and get a good bite of the front side. Be Defender 2.
Also, realism: sometimes, when really overmatched with speed, or out leveraged by play, you will need to turn and run.

3, 4 and 6week Tackle Training plan.
I love idea of giving constraints that guide, build a progression but allow for specificity of individual needs (focus area or week point) and coaches position specific drill.
But if you are looking for new ideas or issue fixes- I know a guy.

Coach Kyle talks about how coaches need to understand their young players and try to get into their world while teaching them.
"The 10 year old is not a 21 year old. He's got his 10 year old world and you have to somehow as a coach get into that world a little bit."

.@ADRCoachDev gives an insight on how the game of football needs to be age appropriate when learning it.
"We can't just think that because we put on a helmet suddenly I'm going to buy into toughness and work ethic."
