The standard is the standard.
The standard can be brutal.
How you enforce it is much, much different.

- For all the biting knee caps and “football guy” sound bites it also sounds like coach had some his research on preping players
- The young fired up coach on staff ready to crush the problems the wise old man who has seen the trends come go.
- Been using this game since 2006 and it still holds up. Warm up. Prep for contact or fun.
- Advanced Tackle System followers will know “Run and Gather with Obstructions”. But How good is this from @TheKurtHester

- Simple. Honest. True.
- I have posted a lot of game week drills that show the commitment to training the tackle and your skills. Now let’s just compare two pre-game warm-up.
00:00 - I certainly didn’t make it up. I’m not claiming I made it cool, but it’s one of my favorite terms and have been using it for a long time. Cool to hear other coaches embracing the “dark places”
- Professional players. Game week. Still working at speed and power, just managing contact load. Conversely, I know NFL and NCAA programs that won’t go to ground (or mat) all season. No magic, its about training
00:00 - Heard a coach I really respect this weekend say. “Instead of calling kids out, we make a conscious effort to call kids in. We chose our words and bring them into our culture and up to our standard” Freaking love it!
- Hot fire from @ScottLeech72. “Track Back Tackle” is a favorite tackle drills, game situation that plays great as an off-season activity.
