Stance & EveryDay Drills
Coach Hartman begins with teaching you how to start your secondary in a stance; the importance cannot be understated as withoutaproper stance, it is difficult for defensive players to be in a position to execute their assignment
Drills covered include: Backpedal drills, Baseball Turn drills, Run Fit, Step and more!
Drills For Man Technique
Next, Coach Hartman gets into essential drills for man technique - Fade drill, No Hands drill and more! The Face drill is important to learn because it teaches the secondary how to defend a receiver from a defeated position and the techniques used to get back and gain an advantage over the offensive player.
The Step drill is essential training for technical footwork in the secondary - and it allowsplayers to diagnose run or pass with the read steps. This drill also allows for the entire group to work at the same time.
Finally and importantly, you will learn drills for man to man coverage; this is a critical learning nuance as manyzonecoverages turn into man after a few yards.
Practice Applications
Coach provides practice film to see all drills and how they apply at the beginning of practice and are still a main focus as you move into 7 on 7 periods and 11 on 11. A major benefit of Coach Hartman’s video is the emphasis on the run game and proper fun fits in the secondary.
With today’s game focusing more on spread offensive attacks, it is important for the back end of your defense to make tackles and plays in space; there are many instances where this is broken down for you in practice in this video.
This video is a must-have for any coach looking to make their secondary one of the top units in their league against the run and pass. This video is a must buy alongside Coach Hartman’s Cover 2 and Cover 4 videos.
