#LockLeft

[Anonymous]

Hello Tyler and others. I would love to have input from other coaches. We have worked on putting in lock left this season. We are struggling with some different actions at times. 

One of our struggles is getting players to buy in and go all in. Most players are trying but some have outside influences telling them that this is a junk defense and we can’t beat good teams with it. Therefore, those players aren’t giving their full effort to learn and go all in for their team. And this makes our lock left defense not work as well as it could be working. 

Also, how long should we expect to struggle with getting good enough at the lock left to defensively compete with the great teams? And do you recommend we just stick with it until we get it? 

Thanks!!
