The Precision Tackling System
The system trusted by AFL and AFLW players and clubs to improve tackling technique, safety, and on-field impact. Now available online.
Tackling can feel uncertain. One moment too slow, one misstep, and you either miss the contest or put yourself at risk.
Most players are left to figure it out on their own by guessing, learning bad habits, or playing with hesitation.
You deserve a better way.
Developed from over a decades worth of elite level grappling and AFL tackling experience, The Precision Tackling System is a structured online program that teaches players how to tackle with precision, control, and confidence by using the same coaching I deliver in private sessions and AFL/AFLW club environments.
Clear, proven, and instantly usable.
The Precision Tackling System includes:
✅ 40+ High-definition video lessons of fundamental and elite tackling mechanics
✅ Step-by-step drills to build footwork, contact and finishes
✅ Technique cues that fix common issues like hand tackles or bad head position
✅ Pro-level coaching insights from real AFL/AFLW sessions
✅ A proven system you can train with solo, in pairs, or with a team
