Thank you for addressing these issues I played corner and I was shocked when my son told me his High School coaches never addressed leverage or depth.

Great stuff Coach. Could you please do a video breakdown on the responsibilities of all of the Pass Coverage Defenders in Cover 3 ( Linebackers, Safeties and Corners ) and where their eyes should be please i.e. Eyes begin on #2 Receiver, who then goes in, eyes go to #1 etc and you cannot let #1 go underneath the Nickel etc. Love your content and would love a full breakdown if possible 🙏 Many Thanks

Do you offer personal development coaching? My son was a strong safety in high school, and just started playing college as a nickel. He is on the smaller side but his passion and mechanics are on point. He does have really great coaches, but I was definitely thinking he would benefit from a personal development coach.
