How Tulane Upgraded Tackling Performance Mid-Season
When Tulane's defensive coordinator Greg Gasparato wanted to improve his unit's tackling mid-season, he turned to Atavus. Within weeks, the coaching staff had access to weekly film analysis, customized tackle plans, and actionable data insights that transformed their defensive approach.
The partnership demonstrated what's possible when an elite program adds a fractional tackling specialist — without disrupting the existing staff structure or off-season preparation cycle.
