From the Archives: Today’s guest on Coach and Coordinator Podcast is Scott Peters, a former NFL player who originated the Tip of the Spear System for blocking and defeating blocks. Peters played for the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers and Carolina Panthers.
After his playing career ended, he began studying Brazilian jiu jitsu and other mixed martial arts disciplines to rebuild strength and mobility in his ankle while recovering from an injury, and he continued training following his NFL career. A two-time world champion in submission grappling, Peters has combined his football and MMA knowledge to create a revolutionary program that assists players in improving performance while building blocking, tackling and block defeating fundamentals. In today’s podcast, Peters and host Keith Grabowski talk about how Tip of the Spear developed, how it works and more.
