For example: the DB’s feet, hips, jams, back paddle, and if he has good ball skills and other things that help me break up a defense. ➢ The next important one is practice because….• Makes sure you know what you are doing throughout each play• Consistency in practice means consistency and production in games• Preparation ➢ The last is strength and conditioning because….• Getting stronger and faster • Maintain strength throughout the football season• Staying in shape
