@Challenger_ST @Belly1162 While I totally agree that they shouldn't hinder her progression when she's clearly already strong. However Elite weightlifters all over the world warm up with just the bar. Plus it would be disingenuous to her to not verify her technique and ability when they have no background.
@RUGBY_STR_COACH I get you. With that said I've seen wrestling coaches work footwork and hand placement against a specific offense/defensive technique. They break it down to work on what the athlete is struggling with.
@RUGBY_STR_COACH Exactly. This is why coaches want athletes to perform this element in a controlled setting where they can be corrected before they they do an uncontrolled setting and add variables. They have broken it down to one variable (likely needs work) and are drilling specific technique.
@RUGBY_STR_COACH Base width & foot movement as they laterally move while engaged then the way they push off their inside foot to disengage & step to tackle. Teach the technique here before you move on to a more live and open drill. High level Olympic weightlifters still do light weight tech work.
@RUGBY_STR_COACH Footwork, extension, hip position. The way there body moves when they shed the block. Yes there's a ton of learning that goes on in a drill like this. They are working the technical skill of a specific situation: the reach block. It probably advances to an open more live drill.
@KodyAfusia Right?! Its like when they took away the "incidental" 5 yard face mask for grabbing and letting go and made them all 15. De incentivizing anything other than holding onto it.
@fapsid@CoachDanCasey It does not. You can be ineligible by alignment or number. Had a ref say once that everyone is a receiver unless they are ineligible.
@fapsid@CoachDanCasey These are extra clarifications of the base rule which I posted. Anyone not allowed to catch a pass goes more than 3 yards downfield blocking or otherwise there should be a penalty. The play posted should have resulted in a penalty.
