The recent debate surrounding the "swivel/hip-drop" tackle has sparked heated discussions among players, coaches, and fans. With the NFL's decision to ban this hip-drop tackle technique, we must approach the issue with a clear understanding of the tackle itself and the implications of this rule change.
Subtle tackling flaws frequently emerge under game situations, causing extended drives, penalties, and explosive plays. Uncovering tackling deficiencies is a multifaceted challenge, but once identified accurately, it also catalyzes incredible improvements.
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.
We are excited to announce our new partnership agreement with the National Junnior to become the Official Tackle Analytics Provider of NJCAA football.
Football is a highly strategic and skill-filled sport. What if coaches had access to even more data, insights, and information in order to make better decisions? Coaches can improve their team's performance by combining the precision and insight of machine learning algorithms with their expertise.
The numbers are startling. Participation in youth football has dropped dramatically since 2010 and it's no secret why this is happening: safety concerns have led many parents to worry about their children getting injured. At Atavus, we understand that safety is a significant concern and we it's our mission to improve player safety and tackling education through our various programs, tools, and services.
