Great drill. Simple with important key points.
Dave you’re a good teacher. Simple and clear solutions to problems.
very simple drill but the build up with all the details is so important to get you’re players the confidance in this important part of the game. also staying low and safe. Great!
Love thjis as an initial tackle session, especially with the controlled contact. Great Job Dave!
Great drill simple for our U10 to understand
Simple, claro y con indicaciones cortas. Muchas gracias!
Excellent
Brilliant Dave how you identified each unit of the tackle and merged them into a fluid movement
Excellent simple detail!
Me parece muy bueno todo muy practico para aplicar.consideren el español.
Loved it thanks Dave
Version ? hope you are well mate
Loved this will be using it this morning with my U16’s
I like the simplicity of the progression, another excellent tool for the coaching tool box
Micro skills, wise concept! Especially useful for kids. Would you pls consider adding subtitles (CC). Sometimes it’s difficult to understand all the expressions. In English will be ok, and in Spanish, superb.
Very good and detail mate 👍🏽 Micro skills to execute the skill.
Thanks Dave
Really good, back to basics drills
Coaching U13s and younger the tackle is fraught with a lack of confidence. The “Pre Tackle” skill development is really important. Dave brings another aspect of pre tackle skills to the coaches skill set armoury. I will use these at my next coaching session.
Great micro skills video and progression. Thanks!!!!
Great session. I love to use this detail particularly with girls ( who are a lot smarter than boys). Have a look at a session I did in the Hague with their Women’s team. Micro skills give players confidence to hit safely. Often too much hitting shields and not enough technique.
