Most linebackers don't know how to watch film properly. They sit down and ask themselves "what am I looking for?" Then get confused at meetings with Coach and lost during plays. So I put together the 6 main elements of watching film and the questions to ask yourself : >>🧵<<

Last game didn't go the way you want? Here's 3 things to consider when watching film so you can dominate next game : • How were your reads? • How was your tackling? • Were you mirroring the running back? Don't go into games clueless about your mistakes. Get right.

Football isn't just a physical game. It's a mental game. It's a big chess board with different strategies and tactics. And when you start learning the game? When you understand the role each play have within the overall game? You'll be a beast. Understand the game you play.

Confidence isn’t built on game day. It’s built in the offseason, in the film room, and during practice. Every rep, every drill, and every study session adds to your belief in yourself. When you’ve done the work, you don’t hesitate. You execute.

The truth is, confidence doesn't show up like magic. It’s built step by step. Here’s how to create unshakable self-belief as a linebacker: >>🧵<<

Stay in the moment. Overthinking kills confidence. Focus on the play in front of you, not the one behind you. Self-talk like: “One play at a time,” keeps you locked in and ready to perform.

Missed tackles don’t happen because of bad luck. They happen because of bad habits like: - Standing tall - Poor angles - Hesitation Fix these by drilling proper form: - Stay low - Drive through the ball carrier - Approach with controlled aggression

Football is a game of tendencies. Offenses repeat patterns. Great linebackers recognize these patterns pre-snap, anticipate the play, and act decisively. This part of your job isn’t about talent.i It’s about preparation.

3. Post-snap reaction. Pre-snap is preparation. Post-snap is execution. When the ball moves, trust your keys, and act decisively. Hesitation comes from uncertainty. Confidence comes from preparation. Football IQ isn’t talent—it’s preparation. Study the game, and you’ll
