What does it take to play Linebacker? Sure you want speed. You want an athlete that explodes on the field. But, it takes a lot more to be a successful linebacker. It takes great instincts, effort, practice, AND a great Coach, like Keith Boone. Coach Boone, Assistant Football Coach at the University of North Alabama, takes us through his teaching progression for linebackers. Starting with alignment on the field and following all the way through to the result, Coach Boone prepares his athletes for success - on and off the field. Don't forget to "take care of the little things," like Blow Delivery, Blocking, and Tackling. Little things?! Yes, that's right, and proper coaching will keep them from becoming big problems. Sure there may be some false steps or misreads, but with the right coaching approach - AND repetition, repetition, repetition - the player who gives the effort, gets the result. Your turn to put forth some effort now. The videos are waiting!
