Build Your Foundation First

Every great offensive lineman masters the basics:

• Stance
• First step explosion
• Pad level
• Hand placement

Without these, nothing else works.

Core Skills You Must Develop

1. Footwork Wins Everything

• Short, controlled steps
• Maintain balance at all times
• Never cross your feet under pressure

2. Hand Technique

• Strike first
• Inside hand control = leverage
• Reset hands constantly

3. Leverage & Pad Level

• Low man wins — every snap
• Keep hips under you
• Play with a strong base
