Muy bueno. Se lograria mejor comprension si es traducido o subtitulado al español.

Argentina

These videos are very helpful

USA

per favore i sottotitoli in inglese o spagnolo. io sono italiano e Not understend English. Tank YOU!

Italy

thanks! they only issue I see is that the drills set´s the support player at 45°, and if the pass if inside the deffense it would be probably be a flat pass…

Argentina

Amazing content! thanks

Brazil

Ha good stuff! I call this the “chicken wing pass.” Very effective in a 2 v 2 situation when the ball carrier bangs out the fend with the non-carrying arm.

Australia

Great simple video breaking down how to teach the offload to kids????

Ireland

Brilliant stuff! No more abandoned midweek sessions due to waterlogged pitches! :-) Really innovative ideas to work on tackle detail.

Great Britain & Northern Ireland

I met Ben at the Hurricanes some years ago, he has become an awesome coach. Great use of props. Brilliant

England

Awesome Ben great thought process

New Zealand

Really great for youth players to build knowledge and confidence while being safe in best practise for tackling and dissolving doubt pre tackle and bad habits.

USA

Muy tips para mejorar la tecnica del tackle .

Argentina

Great for younger players who often keep their head too far away from the tackled player. It is safer and a better, tighter tackle when they use their head and neck. It helps keeps the head on the correct side as well. Our league cousins call it shoulder stick. Pulling back with the arms/shoulders and pushing forward with the legs sticks the tacklers shoulder to the opponent.

England

fantastic ways to enforce the refined micro skills of the tackle in an indoor or enclosed environment.great understanding that these 1% can make so much difference
