THE PROBLEM
You know how many tackles you missed. Do you know what they cost you?
Almost every staff counts missed tackles. Very few can explain or have the time to explain why they happened or what they cost on the scoreboard.
01
“Missed tackles are losing us close games”
The one-score games come down to a handful of plays. Tackling is usually one of them.
02
“We need to develop our players and our young assistants”
Better tackling technique makes better players, better coaches, and a safer game for your kids.
03
“We don’t have staff time for detailed film grading.”
Most high school staffs can’t grade every tackle every week. That’s the part we take off your plate.
THE OLD QUESTION
“How did we tackle?”
Gets answered with a count. The conversation ends there.
THE RIGHT QUESTION
“HOW DID OUR TACKLING IMPACT THE OUTCOME OF THE GAME?”
Connects every tackle to downs, yards, points, and the result.
HOW IT WORKS
What happened. Why. What to change this week.
Here's what a Tackle Performance Assessment puts in front of your staff, then how we prove it improved.

01

02
Personalized & Actionable

03
Measureable, this season

TYING TACKLING TO RESULTS
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.

FAQ
Coaches Usually ask
Answers on timing, film, staff time, and more
-
As soon as your TPA is in place. Send that week's game film and we deliver findings and a plan before your next game. From there you'll see the trend week over week.
-
Very little. We grade the film, build the reports, and write the plan. Your staff shares film and joins one short session to review the findings.
-
Yes. Most staffs start mid-season. We build the plan around this week's opponent, not next spring.
-
Start with a short call with our tackling staff. We'll learn about your defense, walk you through a sample TPA, and talk about whether a TPA fits your staff. Film analysis begins once your TPA is underway.
