"Cheetah, cheetah, cheetah" 🎙:Derek Jones

“You can’t be sensitive or mentally weak and expect to excel at the game of football.” #Cheetahs #TheCoalition #DBLock #Ap2w

They were waiting for a reason to do this!

Your backpedal and transition form should resemble your running form. Keep your elbows tight to your body and come out of breaks like you would come out of blocks or start a 40 yard dash. Your arm control is essential to maintaining balance and precision in all transitions. #Ap2w

True competitors like to compete regardless of the circumstances. A good athlete who’s not a competitor is a liability. #Cheetahs #DBLock #Ap2w

As a DB coach there’s no bigger red flag during the recruiting process than a prospect being overly concerned about who else or how many other guys we’re recruiting at the position. If you’re truly confident, which you have to be to play DB, that shouldn’t matter. #Cheetahs #Ap2w

Always remember that no one cares what you’ve done in the past and never expect someone to give you something you’ve done nothing to earn. #Cheetahs #TheCoalition #Ap2w #DBLock

You can’t fake or pretend to be a competitor. #Cheetahs #TheCoalition #DBLock

Playing defensive back isn’t for everyone. It takes a special athlete to excel when your success level is based on defending someone who knows exactly where they are going. #Cheetahs #DBLock #Ap2w

#CheetahLaw When you play DB you will at some point get beat, but you can never act defeated. No matter what happens at practice or during a game, never show a sign of frustration, disappointment or weakness! #Cheetahs #DBLock #Ap2w

It takes more than speed and athleticism to excel as a defensive back. Learn to identify splits and stems of receivers to recognize routes before they happen. Certain splits eliminate the possibility of certain routes and gives you an indication of others. #Cheetahs #DBLock #Ap2w

#CheetahLaw There’s no shortcut to becoming elite. #Cheetahs #DBLock #Ap2w

#CheetahLaw Accepting your role, doesn’t mean you have to be satisfied with your role. Always stay hungry. #Cheetahs #DBLock #Ap2w

ℂ𝕙𝕖𝕖𝕥𝕒𝕙 mentality. #ThisIsHome

Family #DBLock

Every single day, you’re either predator or prey. “Track and Attack!” It’s a mindset! It’s a mentality! It’s a way of life!

#CheetahLaw When playing press coverage don’t allow the receiver to get his back foot or plant foot down before you put your hands on him. “Start the fight by throwing the first punch.” #Cheetahs #DBLock #Ap2w 🐆
