Coaching Tips:

Diverse Approaches: Encourage players to tackle The Ruck Warrior from various angles and speeds. Avoid giving a straight-on approach every time; mix in movements like hitting the ground and getting up, rolling and returning to feet, or evading before executing the clearance.

Pressure Training: Start with straight clearance drills or fatigue the player first before performing clearance work to challenge their technique under pressure.

Precision Targeting: Ensure players lower their height from 2-3 meters away and make precise decisions on the target area on the training aid.

Focus and Control: Keep their eyes on the target throughout the initial hit, using a strong arm clamp if needed and maintaining initial shoulder contact. Players should always control their bodyweight.

Evaluate Performance: Observe speed and accuracy during the clearance. Encourage players to maintain low, square hips with a powerful follow-up leg drive.

Strong Finishes: After clearing, players should end in a strong position, eyes up, ready to face the next threat or in a defensive stance.

Phase Play Integration:  Move The Ruck Warrior into position, simulating phase play. Players must clear the threat if the Ruck Warrior is positioned first.

Angle Adjustments: Coaches can alter the clearance angle by adjusting the straps on the back, forcing players to straighten their backs and drive through effectively.
