Coming from a program that will wind up 1-9 on the season. Program used to have tradition but that has been thrown out the window by coaches that have been there way too long. We have a head coach that has been coaching for 40 years and has no discipline at all. Brought back an old friend to be the offensive coordinator who is 4 yards and a cloud of dust guy. These old guys think our program is about them when we win and how stupid the kids are when we lose. Kids don't respect either of them and the program is basically in the "crapper" We will have a new head coach by year's end and whether or not it is me I am looking for a complete renewal for a program. Off season weight and running program, character building systems that have a proven track record. I have seen things happen with this program that would amaze you. We need change....what have you done to change your program.

If you are here asking for an off season program you probably are not the guy to be the next header. Just a thought and I could be completely wrong. I was wrong once, wasnt my fault of course.

JK, anyhow, keep it simple.
1) lay out expectations and consequences and be consistent in holding kids accountable- consider a contract
2) no star players, only a group of hard workers making up a tough team
3) win with weights - run 40s and 100s twice a week. encourage healthy eating (6-8 small meals a day)
4) make a big deal out of academic progress and achievement
5) get rid of the cancers if they cant handle the above

If you dont know where to start, I would get my hands on as much BFS stuff as I can. Its a pretty comprehensive program as far as the stuff you are looking for.

No big deal...but you are not correct. I have several years of experience just searching for anything different that I have not come in contact with already. Like others that use this site I have seen a lot of valuable info here that has helped me over the years. Have a plan ... just looking out to see if needs to be tweaked. |

Here is what I do.
Take a school calendar. Figure out how many days you want to work out a week. Look to the start of when you want to start your training. Count your training days making sure not to count school holidays, in-service, and the week of finals. Now that you have your training days counted divide it by 100. That is the amount of points per workout.
Before any player may play in a game they have to have 90 points. It’s simple as that. And that includes freshmen. For players who don’t have 90 point there will be opportunity during training camp and latter practice to earn your 90 points. But make it abundantly clear to them that those opportunities will be a living hell and not to test you in the slightest. We have a 10 practice rule so for players who don’t have the needed points I offer 2 grueling running sessions at 4.5 each for those 10 days. So there is no excuse for not having your points.
Now how I work around this with injury and other sports. I make it clear to the players that half of your points come from the workout. Half comes from being with your team. If you are enrolled in another sport you earn half points for the duration of the sport because you are working out but not with your team. If you are injured you earn half points if you show up because you are with your team but not working out. I also liberally award bonus points. So its not very hard for players who were in other sports for part of the year to earn they points come season.
Players generally respond well to this system because they understand the 90 is an A rule. And they see the system is fair and defined rather than arbitrary. They know what they get points for. They know why they only get half points if they are playing another sport or hurt. I’ve found that being arbitrary is what can loose kids. At that age they still have an over developed sense of fairness.
