      HIGH INTENSITY
        Tackle Training Systems
"Did you know that according to medical experts, tackle football players suffer an estimated 3.8 million brain injuries each season?  Did you know that the majority of all football related brain, neck and spinal cord injuries are the direct result of players initiating contact with their helmet to tackle their opponent?  In 1997, to help lower the risk of head injuries, I developed my unique tackle training system to teach players how to IDENTIFY and AVOID the physical mechanisms that lead directly to headfirst impact when attempting to tackle a ball carrier.  For over a decade, my revolutionary approach toward tackle training has measurably lowered the incidence of headfirst collisions on every level of football competition!" 
    
 Coach Bobby Hosea 
    Founder/CEO

LOVE OF THE GAME...

"I love the game of Football, but the game of Football loves 
nobody.  It will injure, cripple and kill any and all who play it. 

So please play the game intelligently by never initiating contact 
with your head to BLOCK, TACKLE or RUN OVER your opponent."

 Dip-N-Rip-Sticks' Kids



#38 Dashon Goldson of the San Francisco 49ers & #30 Roy Lewis of the Pittsburgh Steelers were both raised on the Dip-N-Rip-Sticks 12-Step Tackle Progression.

#38 Dashon Goldson
SAN FRANCISCO 49ers

 
#30 Roy Lewis 
PITTSBURGH STEELERS

 
#38 Dashon Goldson: 
Has been named the starting 49er's Free Safety for 2009. 


Learning to keep my head out of tackles at an early age, has allowed me to stay healthy and make the most out of my talent.  Since the 6th grade and all through my High School, College and now NFL career, I have been a solid, sure tackler at each level of competition.  Max out your potential by staying away from needless head, neck or spinal cord injuries by learning what I learned back in 1997 when Coach Bobby Hosea first brought the Dip-N-Rip-Sticks to our practice.  This is simply the best tackle training in the world!

#38 Dashon Goldson makes a tackle against the Broncos 2008 . 

Dashon Goldson takes on blocker at practice  as Coach Bobby looks on in 1997. 

 
#30 Roy Lewis:
Won a Super Bowl ring in 2008, his rookie year.

"Technique is everything in the NFL. To survive at this level takes a lot more than muscle and speed because everybody has those.  The difference in making the team comes down to who can make plays and stay healthy.  I am so thankful that I was able to be coached by Coach Bobby Hosea my junior and senior years of High School.  Without the Dip-N-Rip-Sticks Tackle Training he gave me back then, I would not be in the NFL, playing for the Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers. Technique is everything and there is no other Tackle Training System that will keep you safe from head injury and make you an effective, consistent tackler than Coach Bobby Hosea's 12-Step Tackle Progression."   
Roy Lewis 
#30 Pittsburg Steelers

# 30 Roy Lewis makes tackle his rookie year with the Steelers 2008.

Roy Lewis "KNOCKS IT LOOSE" against Coach Bobby's team in 1997.
