Skill development requires sequenced steps of
progression. Start at the end and press
rewind. Map out the skills required (and
the “why”) to achieve the goal and work backward. For a WR to get separation from a DB he needs
a clean break at the top of the route; to get a clean break at the top of the
route a WR needs to be under control with proper balance, speed and leverage
against the DB…and continue working backwards to stance and start.
Again, start at the end and press rewind. Explain the desired end result. Then explain the steps required working
backwards from Z to A. Then get to work,
moving from A to Z, in sequence and developing those skills in isolation. Once all the skills are learned, put them all
together:
Stance and Start à
Release vs. Press Coverage à
Route Stem à
Route Break à
Hand Placement à
Ball Control à
Yards After Catch à
and……Touchdown Dance.
Well,
maybe Act like you been there…not like you just arrived!
