From the community
Brilliant drill, well explained, i would have used balls on the person tackled so they also work on how to fall using their core even more.
Thanks Lesley, great to see some different ways of buidling up the tackle.
Great tackle build up drills. Players can see how effective it is at each step and work on weak points.
great interview!
This is brilliant from Lesley McKenzie. Her patience and clarity in communication is such an important quality to replicate as coaches.
Explanation excellent for players and coaches – very clear what to look for.
Great drill, we use it all the time now. Makes my girls think outside the box.
Very clear instructions, well presented, doing the basics correctly, eliminating poor techniques.
Awesome work, Lesley! Hips don’t lie! Can’t wait to use this with my teams
Very informative for younger and beginner players.
Great communication for feedback!
Nice work Southland Girls some very good drills and self reflection conducted.
Square hips! How? Open the hips with the first step, we should eliminate the dominant leg moving first. Love the exercise, a lot going on.
Great interview and journey.
I’m glad to see the growth in opportunities for women in coaching. This video is full of ‘little gems’ for coaches, regardless of gender. An enlightening interview. Thanks.
