Three Math Driven Strategies to Optimize Tackling in Football

- Here we tackle (pun intended) the mathematics behind timing the perfect tackle! Turns out with some algebra, trigonometry, and optimization we can know exactly what angle to run at in order to intercept a wide receiver, and coaches actually use some of these tactics when training their players!
This is a re-upload of two previous videos put together into one video. Their seperate parts which contain more details are linked below.

Math The World is dedicated to bringing real world math problems into the classroom and answering the age old question “when will I ever use this?”
We use unique topics for algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and much more and go beyond context problems and use a technique called mathematical modeling to find solutions to real world questions and real world problems. These videos are great for students who plan to enter technical fields that require real world problem solving, and can be a great resource for teachers looking for ways to bring real world contexts into their classroom.

Great video. For an everyday application the head turn strategy is excellent when you’re merging onto the highway.
Great observation!
Ironically that could be useful for ml variations too.
I hate merging on highways, so I appreciate your advice. Thank you so much.
Why does the graph not line up? I tried graphing it and it looks nothing like that!
Ooh wait you using degrees, makes sense
And would the perpendicular path strategy work for the truck evasion problem? If I always aim for the perpendicular path from my position to the far front corner of the truck, doesn’t that mean I would always reach the other side before the truck given have enough time?
Yes, it works in the truck evasion problem as well. I'm pretty sure we talk about it in one of the more detailed videos that were used to make this video.
For former defensive players out there, would any of this be helpful in practice?
I'm sure everyone instinctivly solves these in their head in less than a second. How do you think baseball players can throw to a player's mit 100s of feet away?
the head swivel was probably figured out by some math teacher/coach a while ago
its probably common knowledge
