Yesterday’s offer - First 3 that order 101 DB Tips Soft Cover Gets the E-book Free

Changing this one thing turned me into a playmaking DB overnight

Tip number 9 in my book 101 DB Tips talks about trusting what you see when you’re out on the field. There are a number of stages to becoming a consistent playmaker as a defensive back. The final stage is that very tip—trusting what you see—and I’ll expand on that in this article.

The Desire to Prepare

I was always a player looking for an edge. Maybe it was because I started playing the game late, or because I had convinced myself that physically I wasn’t enough. Whatever the case, I made it a point to try and know what plays were coming before the ball was snapped.

Understandably, doing this gave me a certain peace when game day came around. My most nervous times were always when I hadn’t put enough study in. I suppose it’s the same feeling you’d get if you never cracked open the science book before the exam. But that peace didn’t always translate into making plays—and there was one major reason why.
