USA

Very well done progression, new things to add to my coaching, thank you.

Canada

Very good will use this preseason.

England

These basic fundamentals of tackling will help players loose the uncertainties About attacking.therefore happening in the come more confident the tackling. And my day 80s 90s The text Leean Coach is that I had Nat did not have the signs of this down

USA

Excellent tackle videos and great use of the phone camera as an aid. The best part of this series is Alistair himself and his approach. Like many coaches on the Rugby Site he is calm, quiet and projects a positive and knowledgeable approach to the subject matter. Finally his challenging of the players in a non confrontational but constructive way is superb. A lesson to be learned in itself.

England

Great video on the tackle. The technique is good and broken down very well. good build up to an end result of a confidence in the tackle.

Canada

Ottima precisazione sulla modalità d’intervento nel placcaggio.

Italy

like the emphasis on simple “knee bending” drill …… applies to so many aspects of game and so many young players have difficulty doing it consistently

USA

Great repetition for second nature positioning
