Antoine Davis's COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION in Under a Year

Antoine Davis had a breakout year in 2023. I analyze footage from him in the championship game in 2022 to the championship game in 2023 and the differences in his downfield defense, aggressiveness, marking, awareness, and agility to what took him to a good athlete in Ultimate to 2023 Defensive player of the Year of the AUDL and Championship weekend MVP

These videos are exactly what I have been missing! Understanding movements and ideas on the field. As a beginner, for me this is golden knowledge. Thank you so much!

Amazing content and breakdown for defense! I have never played on a college or club team but I will try to apply this to my League and pickup games. Its interesting how a tall and fast athlete can improve so much in 1 year, It shows that positioning, reaction and awareness makes a huge difference!

At 6:00 (in your video, not the 2022 video), AD not only lost track of his guy but also was not aware of his teammate calling for a switch onto 13 (who ends up collecting the huck moments later). Really odd defensive lapses last year.

How do you feel about Davis using his feet early in the mark? I've always thought of using your feet as a last second resort because it makes you off balance and vulnerable to fakes/quick movement by the thrower? Its evident that he shows great balance by being able to put up a leg and still be balanced enough to follow the throwers movement but curious to hear your thoughts on overall raising your leg as a mark?

Thank you for the video! I’d say I’m shorter than most players, so I tend to force them in more because I don’t want to get beaten deep. But sometimes I might give them to much of an easy pass. What should I do?

Do you think Jordan Kerr might've been in worse shape for the finals against NY? I know that sounds crazy, but it just didn't look like he was participating in the game. Not to take away too much from Antoine, though.
