Beginner training plan
Your first lessonAssessment and foundation. I learn where you are, what you want to work on (tackling, blocking, or both), and your goals. Then we start building fundamentals — Breakdown position, Near Foot, Swoop, and Shoot. High reps, lots of coaching. I film everything so you leave with video and clear coaching points.
Lesson 11+By now you've mastered the fundamentals. We shift to maintenance, refinement, and game-specific scenarios. We can also add mental performance training — finding your WHY, setting personal core values, building habits like daily journaling. This is where good athletes become great ones.
Lesson 4-10Now we're completing the full system. Tackling: Form Tackle, Thigh & Drive, Thigh & Roll — you'll know how to finish. Blocking: Fit and Finish phases under pressure. If you're ahead of schedule, we introduce Advanced Tackling (5 Fights). I continue assessing and adjusting based on your progress.
Lesson 2-3We reinforce the fundamentals from Lesson 1 but move faster. Then we progress to the next level — Uppercuts, Standing Drive, Two Step Drive for tackling. For blocking, we add Coil, Uncoil, and Fit. Every session builds on the last. You'll see real improvement in your video comparisons.
Youth players
Working with kidsI keep it fun and moving — short explanations, lots of reps, games that teach technique without feeling like drills. I teach the same USA Football fundamentals as older players, just at their pace. Safety-first mindset. I also check in with parents after sessions and share video so they see what we worked on.
