A Brief Overview: Catching, Defense, Strategy, etc.
Catching
Work to change your catching instincts
a response to the Huddle’s issue on catching
Layout Technique, complete with several pictures
on Head Stability
Defense
the (potentially false) dichotomy between “smart” and “emotional” D (another old one)
mind the Hips
the Outside Shoulder for fundamental team D (but see the comments)
Jumping form, and Skying (I’ll revisit this in more depth someday)
Mobile Marking (and Improving Mobility)
close the Holes in the mark
Spacing on the mark
consider the Periphary
Strategy
Focus and Mental Toughness for your team. See also Talk in Positives, Ways to Talk to Encourage Cont’d Performance for more applied use.
How should you deploy your D studs?
Play to your strengths or their weakness?
Subbing. How would you sub yourself? Make yourself into the kind of player you want to play in tight spots.
Endzone O. How does your team practice it?
Etc.
Phase 3 of the mass-linking is the other aspect of this blog: fitness and training-related info. Check back on Thursday.
