Pro Tips Guide to Fumble Recovery

Описание: In the sport of football, fumbles are going to happen over the course of a season. It is your job as a player to know how to properly and efficiently recover a loose ball so that your team can regain or overtake the game’s momentum as you swing possession in one direction or the other.

When approaching a fumbled ball, your first step in skillfully securing it will be to grasp it with both hands. When you begin to engulf the football with your body, do not roll onto your back, as this invites the opportunity for other players in the dogpile to potentially knock the football from your grip. Instead, try to land on your side or stomach and get the football as tight to your core as possible.

To add another layer or two of ball security when recovering a fumble, bring your elbows over the ends of the football to prevent any errant hands from getting in there and ripping the pigskin away. Also, bring your knees to your chest and curl into a ball over the football, with your top leg coming over everything for a final blanket of security.

You can train this swarming technique by having a coach or teammate roll footballs from various angles to mimic a fumble while you set yourself up for the proper recovery.

Always remember that the fate of a fumble can swing the momentum of a game. Be prepared this football season with the right recovery technique by following these tips and tricks.
