Congrats to Jake Foster on his first coaching victory for @TigerFootball_ . Foster coached the freshman team to a 19-14 win over Glenwood on Monday in Chatham.
Most Linebackers are doomed before the ball is even snapped.
And it has nothing to do with size or speed.
They fail because of the basics.
Bad stance.
False steps.
Eyes in the wrong place.
By the time the play gets started?
They’re already beat.
Here’s the truth: Linebacker play is simple.
Eyes. Feet. Hands.
Master those 3 things, and you’ll dominate.
✅ Eyes: Read your keys.
✅ Feet: Use efficient movements.
✅ Hands: Strike with violence.
Get those right, and suddenly:
• You’re playing faster.
• You’re making more tackles.
• You’re a nightmare on the football field.
Linebacker greatness isn’t complicated.
It’s disciplined.
Master the fundamentals and the game will slow down.
That’s how you become ELITE.
