This Program includes more than 70 DB drills all organized in a progressive program aimed at improving your skill, technique, footwork, and playmaking ability as a Defensive Back.
Phase 1a (Weeks 1-2)
The Intro to DB - Develop & reinforce the fundamentals to set-up the Foundation for later drills and progressions.
Phase 1b (Weeks 3-5)
Phase 1b is all about Breaks & Transitions, both from man coverage and zone coverage, preparing you for mulit-directional transitions for a myriad of different route combinations.
Phase 2 (Weeks 6-8)
This Phase is the culmination of Weeks 1-5, where we emphasize quality repetition of our different concepts and breaks that we learned in Phase 1 and Phase 2, which is critical to turning these concepts into muscle memory.
We want to provide you, as a DB, the tools necessary to add to your Football IQ.
So, the program includes some add-on bonus features, like videos explaining the nuances of the Route Tree and how to anticipate routes receivers can run based on QB drops and leverage.
We also have some additional material teaching you how to breakdown film to best execute your reads and keys as a DB, and what to look for in film study.
The goal is for you to become not only more technically sound, but smarter as a football player to put you in the right position to make plays based off of your intelligence and IQ.
You'll receive Lifetime Access to this entire Program.
So, you'll have the 8-weeks of the actual written plan, but you'll always have unlimited continued access to all 70+ drills and exercises to be able to add these to your toolbox as you perfect each concept, drill, and exercise and take it as slow as you need to.
The exercises are not only shown with great execution and quality, but Coach Aire gives detailed voiceovers to each drill, adding nuance, purpose, and key points to understand how this relates to scheme and actual game play for you as a DB.
Whether you're just learning the basics of how to play DB, or you're a high level DB that needs to tune-up and reconnect with the fundamentals -- this program will benefit you and make you a better technician.
We take the time to explain not only the how and the what, but how it all fits together into an actual progressive program.

Yes! The DB Blueprint is a completely digital platform that can be accessed and completed from anywhere. The program was designed so that athletes located anywhere in the country can have access to high-quality, high-level training and can do it at home.
Yes. The Strength/Weight Room Program in particular has 2 options for download once you purchase: The Youth Program or The Advanced Program. You'll have access to both and you can choose which one fits your level. The DB Skill/Position-Specific training is fit for all levels. The Speed work is also scalable to fit any level athlete.
Absolutely. All 3 aspects of The DB Blueprint (the DB Skill Work, the Speed Work, and the Strength Work) have all been utilized in team settings with much success.
As a matter of fact, we designed so that every single athlete can see the videos and watch each drill executed at a high level. The speed work can be used in a team setting as an off-season speed plan, and the strength work can be implemented in any high school or college weight room with the equipment available. We didn't include advanced equipment that isn't generally readily available.
We designed this program with this question in mind. The DB Skill Work requires only cones, and small hurdles are a bonus but not required.
The Speed work requires minimal equipment, with cones and sleds recommended. We can send an Amazon link for sleds that are not expensive but work perfectly for what you need for the resisted sprint work.
The Strength work does require access to a weight room, but the equipment is not too advanced and most basic weight rooms would have the necessary equipment. We designed it so that the weight room program can be done from generally any typical high school or college weight room or local gym.
