FB Coaching Strategies
{"Image DocumentName": "FB Coaching Strategies", "Image ImageDescription": "Improving the basic skill. I make liberal use of the Pancake Drill (Pit Blocking). It\u2019s one of the best drills for working on the technique of blocking. I can get many full contact reps in with little chance of injury. It has many variations that can be used to emphasize many different skills. It teaches players to finish blocks. The player\u2019s love this drill. Head Placement is everything. More often than not, all a FB has to do is make sure his head placement is correct to insure a decent block. I stress Head Placement in every blocking drill. I want the FB to place his helmet inside defender\u2019s helmet on Kick Out and Lead blocks, and outside the defender\u2019s helmet on Reach and Pass blocks. Don\u2019t forget the Feet! More than 75% of a player\u2019s power comes from his lower body. Moving the feet after initial contact is imperative if the FB wishes to get any movement on the man he is blocking. I know my FBs aren\u2019t keeping their feet moving when they hit, bounce back, then recoil and deliver another hit\u2026 A sure sign of lazy feet.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
