Off-season framework to develop the ability to build confidence, posture under stress, and strength to fight humans
Be a field fighter not an iron chaser
Clinic rep by Seahawks' CB Tre Brown
WR pushes chest- Swipe the hand down
Once WR puts his hands up to get the ball (& shows his chest)- Punch up & out through his hands
Rake with the opposite hand to ensure you disrupt the catch point or take another shot at the ball

Another overlooked mechanical issue is elbow positioning within your frame.
Too many DBs have their elbows off their rib cage, which increases their surface area (bucket step) when they break.
Elbows should rub against the rib cage & tight to the body to limit excess movement.

“The hardest skill to acquire in this sport is the one where you compete all out, give it all you have, and you are still getting beat no matter what you do. When you have the killer instinct to fight through that, it is very special.”
- Eddie Reese
Nick Saban walked up to the interview podium after practice one day.
“Okay, y’all ready for a lecture?” he asked.
What followed was a powerful lesson on entitlement and doing your best.
Saban on the Importance of Nothing:
“Let’s talk about the importance of nothing. You get up every day, you’re entitled to nothing. Nobody owes you nothing.
“You have talent, but if you don’t have discipline, you don’t execute, you don’t focus, what do you get? Nothing.
“If you’re complacent and not paying attention to detail, what does that get you? Nothing.
“So, nothing is acceptable but your best.
“Everything is determined by what you do and trying to be your best. There should be nothing else but that, for everybody.
“That’s what we need to stay focused on. We need to not accept anything but our best in terms of what we’re doing in preparation.”
–
It’s a simple, but profound message.
Some key takeaways:
1. Entitlement is a disease. It stunts growth and erodes culture.
2. Success has a one-day life cycle. Yesterday doesn’t dictate today.
3. Nobody is owed anything. When your feet hit the floor in the morning, it’s on you.
4. Talent matters, but it’s far from all that matters.
5. The actions you take drive success. Talent only amplifies those actions.
6. Even the best can’t afford complacency. There are competitors trying to defeat you every day.
7. If you’re entitled, the biggest competitor is yourself.
8. If you’re owed nothing, that means nobody else is either. Therein is your opportunity.
9. You can have the best strategy, the best business model, the best talent and … none of it matters if you don’t execute.
10. There are no guarantees. Relish the unknown.

Saban says, "You never want to waste a failing."
Failure is Growth.
“Everybody basically has two choices. You can throw in the towel, quit, and be mediocre, or you can fight, grind, and do the hard things you need to do to be successful...” - Nick Saban
