Message from Steve Shafer:
During my 35 years of coaching football at the college level and the pro level, I had the privilege of working with a number of excellent coaches and teachers of the game. I was particularly fortunate to have worked for head coaches who believed in dedicating a 20-minute period during each practice to work on drills to better develop the required skills needed to be an effective player. These concepts and methods can be taught at all levels and many of the drills do not need pads.
It takes repetition of proper mechanics to develop the skills that show up on game day. This tape has the same drills and coaching points we used during my coaching career in the NFL. This tape illustrates forty-five specific drills along with audio, game-film examples and ‘trigger words’ that we used to emphasize eyes, hands, feet, finish, ball, power and position.
It is my hope that this defensive back drill tape will become a valuable teaching tool for you to share with your players throughout your coaching career.
Sincerely,
Steve Shafer
