How it works

Three drills. One progression.

01

Foundation

The first drill builds the technique with no decisions. Players get clean reps and you can see who has the fundamentals down.

02

Progression

The second drill adds pressure. Depending on your inputs, that means a read, a live runner, more distance or another defender.

03

Application

The third drill puts it in a game-like rep, so players have to use what they just learned at game speed.

Drill types

Pick the rep your players need.

Technical
Fundamental drills that help players master the technique.
Decision-Making
Adds one or two decisions, so the tackler has to react and decide before making the tackle.
Game-Based
Puts athletes in a controlled, game-like situation where they have to use every skill they've learned.

You know how many tackles you missed. Do you know why?

An Atavus Tackle Performance Assessment grades every tackle on your film, finds the root cause of each miss and gives your staff fixes to coach this week.
