Working w/ NFL players over 10 yrs one of the things that has become apparent, athleticism has increased 1000% but skill has went down. So many are high level programmed ATHs but not high level prob solvers/movers. We need to develop skill within athleticism/scheme while in HS

We sprint, jump, bound, squat, pull, press, run tempos, COD, agility, run curves.
No fluff, just work

What creates separation in high school will not create separation in college, and what creates separation in college will not create separation in the pros
The biggest downfall of WRs as they progress to the next levels IMO
It doesnโt matter what your Private WR Coach says is good/bad
It matters what the DB seeโs and their response.
The conversation between WRs and DBs has been lost due to individual private training

Who finally told the Guru's the shuffle/crossover is superior to backpedaling?
Happy to see the popularityโฆ
BUT YOUโRE COACHING IT WRONG
Just like there's a difference from backwards running to BP for sport, the same goes with this
Been using this technique since โ03

Nothing more fragile than a DB Coach being questioned about how their drills transfer
If your answer is "I trained with [insert NFL name], or I saw [insert P4 program] do it", you've only answered part of the equation
Sell your system not your athletes

DB GUIDE TO CAMP 1v1โs
How college coaches evaluate your 1v1 if it were 11v11:
3 steps away from catch = catch w/ YAC
2 steps away = catch w/o YAC
1 step away = PBU
PBU = INT
INT = house call

Social media influencers have everybody hyperfocused on optimal training, recovery, nutrition etc. most arenโt doing enough to obsess about training hard enough or navigating training when life happens.
Not sure where to start?

The thing about this, two things can be true at the same time, and they are here
1. This drill below is pointless & we are seeing OTA/Training camp drills getting more & more crazy
2. What so many of these trainers proclaiming football movement are doing is 100% ๐ช too

Route God had some criticism on the drills that the Titans have Carnell Tate running.
