Testimonials

Coaches report a 16% improvement in tackling effectiveness and a 58% reduction in helmet-to-helmet contact using the Atavus tackle system.

“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.”
Galen Zimmerman
Head Coach
Dripping Springs High School
Dripping Springs, TX
“The Atavus approach is safer, more effective, and leads to better performance on the field.”
Alex Grinch
Former Defensive Coordinator – Oklahoma & USC
“We are so appreciative and pleased with the use of Atavus this season. From the training of our high school staff, local middle school coaches, and youth programs to weekly reports and breakdowns of our team’s performance, Atavus truly is above anything else on the market.”
Nicholas Baker
Defensive Coordinator – O'Dea High School - Seattle, WA
