5 Instead of 15 Is Foundational To Gene Chizik's Approach

Posted Aug 10, 2022
Be really good at five things instead of okay at 15. That was one of the first messages Gene Chizik told his defense at UNC in January after arriving for a second tour of duty with the Tar Heels. Succinct and to the point. Chizik doesn’t want over-thinking on the field, he wants players to be smart in pre-snap and reactive upon the ball being snapped. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
