The drill is teaching players to track their opponent and shut down the space on the inside and also to teach players correct head placement in the hit and shoulder strike.
this video is good i guess... but i dont understand why you are tackling off to a certain direction other then backwards because there support is off to the side? can someone explain?
@botzkeint its easier to tackle by throwing the person off balance (to one side) instead of all the way backwards and also tackling to the side causes the opposing support to stop and lose momentum since they have to now cover the ball
