Season 4, Episode 2 is with Nick Rapone, Safeties Coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Although Coach Rapone currently handles Safeties, he's one of the best Corners coaches in the world, so I wanted him to join us about the fundamentals needed to play the position, as well as Press, Off, and Bail Techniques. Pardon the long stories at the beginning - Coach Rapone has profoundly affected my life with his generosity and kindness, so I wanted to tell him thank you, and share the stories with you.
Topics include:
- How Nick Rapone Changed My Life Forever
- Evaluating Scheme to Teach
- Developing a Philosophy for Corners
- The Power of Belief in What You Do
- Training the Feet & Hips
- Individual Periods in the NFL
- #1 Drill: The Pace Drill
- Coach's 2nd Favorite Drill
- Press Technique - Starting Points
- Match Cover 3 vs. Sky Cover 3
- Drilling & Teaching Press Coverage
- Avoiding Undercutting In Certain Situations
- Off Technique
- Bail Technique
