Joe and Daniel discuss effective defensive adjustments during games using the Levers Principal.

Coaches are constantly looking for ways to get better at making adjustments. It's game night, the opposing offense is driving, you need to make changes but you can't install a whole new front right now. What's the quickest way to make adjustments on the fly, and where do you start anyway? On this episode Joe and Daniel discuss the Levers Principal, how to pull them for improvement, identifying which ones to pull, and how to build practice plans that highlight levers.
