In most programs, varsity schemes barely resemble youth fundamentals with little carryover year-to-year. This is why Atavus built Tacklytics - to supply integrated analysis on technique plus deliver just-in-time teaching adjustments through video review.
At Atavus, we have analyzed the performance data of the 2023 season from over 172 games through our Tacklytics system. The numbers confirm what coaches have already seen - a significant improvement in defense due to better fundamentals.
Spring practice is the perfect time for tackling drills because you can implement new techniques and skills in a controlled teaching environment that reduces the risk of injuries on your players' part.
Atavus exists to develop the confidence of athletes so that they become better tacklers and safer tacklers. Our goal is to empower coaches with a streamlined approach to teaching and evaluating tackling performance and safety.
