Coaches,
Due to financial and other reasons, I will be taking this season off from coaching.
It is my full intention to get back into coaching ASAP.
Do you have any reccomendations about how to learn and take advantage during this time off?
I was thinking about getting the NFL package that allows you to see All-22 footage and studying away.
Thanks in advance!

I took a year off three or four years ago. Things weren't meshing well with a new administration and staff. The first thing I did was go on a nice long vacation with my girlfriend. After that, I visited several schools I had grown to respect. I also went to Cal and Stanford to observe spring ball. Still went to two clinics. Lastly, I got to catch up with friends who moved and coached in other parts of the country. Football is so different from region to region. A buddy of mine from LA asked what offense another of my buddies up near SF ran. When I responded with Wing T, he started to laugh. He hasn't seen anything but Spread and Pro since he moved down there 5 years ago.

Thanks in advance! The best thing I have ever done in my coaching career was when I was a young HFC and struggling early in my HC tenure, I called a very successful HFC from a school that ran similar systems and asked if he would meet with me. He graciously agreed to do so and 8 hours later I truly felt like I was going to be a 10x better HFC. Since then, I have networked w/ 3 other successful FB coaches around our state and have drawn a ton of insight and CONFIDENCE based on the fact that I am learning from guys who have DONE IT before. When you are running things and you know that other schools are doing things similarly & having success, it's just a very comforting feeling. NETWORK- NETWORK- NETWORK! Best thing I have ever done! |

Call as many good programs as you can
Ask if you can just watch them practice
Some will say no but a few will be open to it
The most I've learned in one day was watching a very good local HS practice
Just to see How they do what they do
