▪ Tackle location is important. The MVP | SPRINT has the majority of its weight in the base and little
weight and resistance in the top half. Tackling the MVP | SPRINT too high or too low will result in
too little or too much resistance respectively and that may result in an injury tackling in the mid-
section provides the most life like result. (Illustration #1)
▪ Angles and positioning are important. Design and implement drills where the player can square up
their hips prior to impacting the MVP | SPRINT. This is especially true when the MVP | SPRINT is
moving at full speed. If the player does not have sufficient time and space to square up their hips
to the MVP | SPRINT prior to impact it can result in a serious injury. It is highly recommended that
you explain to the players how the MVP | SPRINT operates, how to safely tackle it, and what to
expect from it in the drill.
