Issues facing coaches when training the tackle
at all levels of the game are shared.
Player improvement is important. Player safety is our responsibility. The responsibility is on a coach to arm a player with the knowledge that will make them the best contributing defender they can be. It is the coaches responsibility to ensure a player has the knowledge that will minimise uncertainty & mitigate injury at the collision to ensure they are developing safe contact habits & instincts.
In order to support overcoming these issues we’re sharing knowledge about tracking developed at the elite level with the whole game.
We believe if you can make it simple & easy to explain & train tracking players can be more accurate and more effective defenders.
