Film Study
*What to look for when studying film:
*Watch replay of yourself in game
– Technical aspects of your movements
– Stance issues
– Kick backs
– Helmet motion
– Hips
– Hands
– Exits
* Watch Opponent Film
– Stance
– Tendencies
– Most used exit
– Least used exit
– When winning
– Posture
– When losing
– Reactions
– Wings
– Pre Whistle Sets
– Post Whistle Sets
– Referee (study head official. If you are at home or on the road. Find out assignments from coach)
– Set up
– Clean or allows misalignment
– Cadence fast or slow
*Preparation
– Identify your opponent’s strength and focus on denying it.
– Ex: Strong rake = Focus on clamp plunger
– Identify your opponent’s biggest weakness and exploit it.
– Ex: always uses defensive exit = Line up wing to double and use reverse shovel
– GOAL: Make the only way they can beat you, their least used option
