The Full Throttle Kick Off – Kickoff Recovery Drills

South Haven High School (MI) head coach Sam Nichols did not stop at changing the way his team kicks off - he carried the same full throttle thinking into the kickoff recovery game. This session is loaded with drills built for the different kinds of onside kicks and kickoffs, and it shows exactly how to counter attack an opponent who is trying to recover the football against you. Every teaching technique needed to install the drills comes with it.
