Testimonials

  • “The data that Atavus provides is critical and versatile. In addition to its primary function as a safety and teaching tool, I use it as an evaluation tool, and it helps tell an important part of a player's tackling ability and production. It encompasses so much!”

    Scott Pioli

    NFL Analyst & Former NFL Executive
  • “[Atavus] allows our defensive staff... to analyze where we're at game in and game out to tailor our tackling drills to what our needs are each game. Then [they] take a snapshot over the season and help us in spring... tailor where we are going to attack our defensive drills for those kids that we've got coming back.”
