Muscle Memory Won't Make the Tackle: Football Tackling & the Real OODA Loop | Keir Wenham-Flatt

Send us Fan Mail Keir Wenham-Flatt says skill is movement-based problem solving, and a tackle is a decision made under pressure. That changes how football coaches should train it. Keir made his name as a professional strength coach in rugby, has worked in five countries, and is now rebuilding his Learn to Tackle curriculum for American football. He and Brian "Ponch" Rivera cover why size and speed rarely decide who wins, why about half the tackles Keir has analyzed needed a second effort, commander's intent in football, the five fights of a tackle, representative design, mental toughness, NIL, what football can learn from rugby, and tackle safety. Ponch ties it to the real OODA loop, where the tackler orients to what the ball carrier does next.
