Run Fits out of a Multiple 4-2-5 Defense – Kevie Thompson

This course introduces a fundamental philosophy for stopping the run built on the concepts of leverage and cutback. Coach Thompson explains how defenders can “own” their responsibilities through clear rules, spelling the ball to the perimeter, maintaining leverage, and controlling the cutback lanes. Using simple terminology and diagrams, the talk provides coaches with a practical framework to teach run defense fundamentals that resonate with players and build consistency across the unit.
