Not every rep is perfect but the intensity is certainly there. I like how the ball carriers move. In drill space, side step, move again forward, some with a little wiggle or step. Make your tackle drills less bland.

When did coaches start mocking kids for just wanting to be on the team? So they didn’t dominate the offseason. Not everyone has high performance dreams. Some just want to be part of a team, the school the community. They know they won’t start. It’s about friendships.

Most drills with movement orCOD into the tackle, turn into Open Field Drill w/extra running, too much time/space. The movement doesn’t challenge the tackler. I love small space change drills w/ runner evasion to force “organization” and hitting key positions under time-stress

I had two consult calls this week and said: “Because Tracking is a non-contact skill it can be trained at an elite, competitive level even when contact is not allowed by rules” “Train what you can, when you can” You don’t need to wait for tackle windows to get great at tracking.
