CLICK HERE To See Letter from Mark Lovat - Head Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Green Bay Packers

"Chris Gizzi uses his playing experience and professional expertise to create a tackling instructional DVD like no other.  The creativity of the drills, the effective coaching cues, and the safe application of non-padded drills is extremely valuable to coaches and players at all levels."
- Ed Donatell (Defensive Back Coach for the Denver Broncos)

"With the proliferation of Spread offenses today, there is a premium on players who can tackle in space.  The Tackling 101 video from ZoneReady gives excellent drills and instruction on the essential elements of tackling.  The drills can be taught safely to players of all levels."
-Tim DeRuyter (Defensive Coordinator for Texas A&M)
 
"This is a no-nonsense approach to tackling.  ZoneReady wastes no time teaching how to get in position to make plays. Most impressively, they did it without pads - I'm anxious to see what they'll put together next."
- Richard Bell (47 years experience as a NCAA Div.I-A Football Coach)
 
“Great teaching mechanics and drills that can be used at all levels of coaching.  Tackling is one of the base fundamentals of our game that cannot be taken for granted.”
- Darren Perry (Secondary Coach for the Green Bay Packers)

“Tackling 101 is a great resource tool for any Coach or athlete serious about their contact work. It is simple, practical and easy to understand and then replicate out on the field. Chris breaks down and explains all the drills extremely well. I use his term "Position of Purpose" on a regular basis when I'm coaching to get across to the athlete the correct body position and this doesn't come without the footwork leading up to it which Chris stresses highly. I have also found these to be effective warm-up drills to get the athlete's mind right before going into the contact work. I highly recommend Tackling 101 and can't wait to see the next progression from Chris and Zoneready.”
-John Donehue (Tackling Coach Melbourne Storm Rugby League and AFL and Rugby Union Tackling Consultant.)

"In today's environment, the more we can do to teach effective tackling - the better off we are. I like the fact that we can stress tackling year 'round and the drills you have put together are perfect for non contact teaching. We sometimes over emphasis the hitting position and head placement at the expense of foot movement. If you can't get to the tackle, then your body position will not matter."
- Kevin Moen (Head Coach at Palos Verdes Peninsula High School)
 
"What a great product!  Zone Ready had taken the basic tackling skills and incorporated them in fun, competitive drills. I will be using these drills during Spring workouts. Thanks to your help, I am positive we will be better tacklers and more competitive next year."
- Billy Price (Head Football Coach for the US Air Force Academy Prep. School)
