With discussion from my own experience and education on all manner of football topics, sometimes to entertain, with a hope to educate and provoke thought, but mainly to get all this stuff out of my head!

While speed is often treated as the only measure of success, Nick argues that this reliance on athleticism alone is holding players back. He explains why technique—from releases and stems to leveraging the waggle in Canadian football—is what separates truly great receivers from fast runners who disappear against quality defenders.   Key Takeaways: Wide receiver is one of the most popular positions, but coaching often gets lazy because of the abundance of athletes. Speed isn’t enough—players need strong technique to succeed consistently. Releases, stems, and understanding leverage are essential skills for receivers. The waggle in Canadian football can be used not just for speed, but to diagnose coverages before the snap. Teaching Receivers proper technique ensures long-term success, even when speed alone doesn’t win. The best players combine athleticism with precision in their craft.   If you want to get in touch, find me here: Email: coachrockell@hotmail.com Instagram: @coachrockell X: @coachrockell   Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone Hosted on Acast.
