Dan Skuta knows how difficult it can be to hold your own on the gridiron—particularly at the professional level.
But excelling at the linebacker position—especially in the NFL—requires an unwavering commitment to hard work, not to mention a training regimen that refines those qualities needed to be successful in one of the most demanding roles on the defensive side of the ball.
How to Be a Better Linebacker
As Dan Skuta knows, becoming a linebacker that makes a real impact throughout each practice and play requires:
- A vigorous exercise routine, one that focuses on equipping you with the speed and strength you need to chase down QBs, receivers and runners effectively and consistently.
- Mastering the linebacker stance, which is generally two-point rather than the three or four-point position used by linemen.
Practicing that ever-crucial first step, essential to reacting to the snap and ensuing play quickly and with maximum impact.
