Description

Do you want to learn how to develop your linebackers? Well, you've come to the right place! In this course, Coach Ryan Manalac reveals the keys you need to know in developing linebackers. He also talks about how important it is to make your coaching points match with the rest of the defense. If you're a coach who wants to enhance your linebackers' skills and development, then this course is a must!

He begins his course by speaking on his coaching journey and stats. These give you a rough idea of where he's come from and the success that this course will help bring to the table for your linebackers.

Then, he breaks down his presnap and keys that you need in order to help your linebackers play to the best of their ability. He uses the acronym S.C.O.P.E. to ensure that your linebackers are fully prepared and correctly aligned in order to take on any type of offensive scheme. In order to learn how to make your linebackers S.C.O.P.E. out the offense, this course is a must. When speaking on the keys, he uses the analogy of looking at a forest. You need to be able to see the entire forest, and also the individual trees that make up the forest, like players and the entire defense. He also speaks on how to read individual offensive players and what they do for the correct reads and reactions. Take your time on the read and react quickly. 

He also breaks down the Front 7 Style, where you need to be aggressive and dominant to neutralize the offense. He teaches you the attack mentality and the knock 'em back method so you can never get reached. This also breaks down alignment styles to help your linebackers and defensive line to work as a cohesive unit.

Next, he talks about different types of techniques that you need to teach your linebackers. He breaks down tackling and blitzing techniques that will efficiently teach your linebackers the proper ways to make plays and encourage successful blitzes. This will create plays and combinations you can teach your players to master to mess with the offense and show them different looks when they prepare for you. 

If you are a coach who wants aggressive and dominant linebackers, then this is the course for you!
