Linebacker Triangle Reads
Use the Triangle Read to remove hesitation, simplify the position, and help your Linebackers play fast.
Some Linebackers seem to have all the tools.
They're physical.
They're aggressive.
They look fast in drills.
But then...
On game day?
Once the ball is snapped?
Things fall apart.
They waste their steps. They hesitate.
And suddenly they’re chasing the play from behind.
It’s frustrating.
Until you realize:
The problem isn't with their effort.
It's with their EYES.
They’re not seeing the game clearly.
And the opposite can also be true.
Sometimes a Linebacker doesn’t look the part.
They’re a little undersized. A little slow.
But they make plays all over the field.
Why?
Because they know how to READ the play.
Great Linebacker play starts with a great READ.
Not something overly complicated.
Not a list of ten things a Linebacker needs to see all at once.
Just a simple, clear structure that helps Linebackers know:
- Where to look
- What they’ll see
- How to react
That’s what this clinic teaches.
This 50-minute clinic provides a deep dive into the Triangle Read.
In my opinion, the Triangle Read is the best way to read a play.
It’s clean. It’s efficient. And it works.
We’ll break it down from every angle:
- The core principles behind the Triangle Read
- Why it works at every level
- How to adapt it to your system
- Film examples that bring it to life
- The drills I use to rep it in practice
No fluff. No theory. Just real, actionable coaching.
Throughout this clinic I explain the Triangle Read using slides, drill videos, and teach tape.
Sure, you can find Linebacker READ drills scattered across the internet.
But this clinic is different.
It's a step-by-step system you can use to truly understand the Triangle Read.
It's information I've gathered from my 15 years of experience coaching Linebackers at the university level.
And it's all laid out in a simple, easy-to-follow format.
You might already have a system for reading the play.
That's great.
If that's the case, this clinic will help reinforce the stuff you're already doing.
And probably give you a few tips on how to sharpen your teaching.
If you're starting from scratch, even better.
This clinic will provide everything you need to create your own version of the Triangle Read.
You might think the Triangle Read is too complicated.
That the players at your level won't be able to pick it up.
This clinic makes it simple.
Eye placement. Pictures. And reactions.
That's it.
Once you see how basic this read can be, you'll have no problem teaching it to your players.
More than anything, this clinic is about clarity.
Because once your Linebackers see the game the right way—
They stop guessing.
And they start making plays.
