Phases of Press-Man Coverage

Every defensive back wants to be known as a lock down defensive back. You don’t have to be the biggest, fastest, or strongest player on the field to be the best. Being the smartest is what could help separate you from the rest. Playing man coverage from a press position is a lot more than just turning and running with receivers. Receivers these days have tons of tricks and techniques that they use to create separation. As a lockdown defensive back, you must be able to counter every move thrown your way with an even better move. This book teaches all athletes from youth leagues up to professional leagues how to play press-man coverage effectively. This is a great book for coaches to teach their defensive backs as well. Some of these techniques usually aren’t learned until the athlete reaches the college or professional level. Every defensive back, from cornerbacks to safeties, and every coach should own a copy of this book.
