Create the foundation of a well-rounded Tight End

This program is designed to progressively build the knowledge, techniques, and mechanics to successfully execute the broad range of jobs that are demanded by a Tight End. The goal is not only to teach the player how to perform each skill in a manner that looks clean and technically sound on film but also to give him the ability to coach himself. He will understand what he should be feeling, why technique works, and how to consistently execute his job. Each section builds the knowledge, techniques, and mechanics necessary to move confidently into the next week and its corresponding drills. With the exception of pass protection, each week is organized around a specific block and route technique. This structure is designed to create a timely progression while also reflecting the demands of a typical tight end practice or game. Tight ends are essentially amoebas that must be capable of changing their responsibility whenever the call demands it. One play you may be required to pass set, the next you are angle drive blocking, and the next you are releasing from the slot into a stick route. This program does not promise mastery. It promises an introduction to a foundational set of skills upon which the entire tight end position is built. Mastery comes only through the time, effort, and intentional practice you dedicate to perfecting those skills before moving on to more complex situations. Even as your responsibilities become more advanced, the lessons and drills in this program will continue to serve as the foundation for virtually every job you will perform as a tight end at any level.
