by Kenny Simpson

Description

How Do You Rebuild a Program With Only 8 Wins in 5 Seasons?

How Do You Break a 20-game Losing Streak?

WITH GREAT DEFENSE!!!

Defense Wins Championships....Offense Sells Tickets

Head Coach Kenny Simpson believes that.

And while his GUN-T offense is setting scoring records, DEFENSE has been the foundation to a turnaoround that includes four-consecutive winning seasons & two conference titles.

The 2017 4A Conference Coach-of-the-Year is ready to teach you his FIT & SWARM 34 Defense.

One guy FITS while the rest of the team SWARMS to the ball carrier.

It all starts with tackling....

start from ground up
Knees
Fit
Clamp

2on1

This is how football works....very seldom does a player make a tackle all by himself
They always have the help of their teammates
That means UNDERSTADING LEVERAGE
Taking advantage of ANGLES
Understand how to TACKLE as a TEAM

TEAM

Tackling HAS TO BE Game specific
Individualized tackling by position means D-Linemen shouldn't be doing same tackling as Defensive Backs

This is a must-have for any defense. If you are looking to improve your tackling, which will improve your defense. This is the video for you. Great tackling drills and stresses the importance of simplifying leverage for your players. I cannot wait to implement this in the fall. Thanks, Coach Simpson.
