Hey guys,
As some of you do or don't know, I am a graduate student at San Jose State. I am doing a project in lieu of a thesis with the subject being "Team Building in High School Football." It must be research based and I will be formally interviewing three coaches. From that, I will construct the manual.
Although it will be based from scholarly journals and these interviews, I wanted to get all of your input. First, I have to limit my study. I was going to do three top coaches in California, but now I have some other contacts which may get me access to some top nationwide coaches. Although I am not allowed to reveal the names yet, the two I have in mind and have connections with are the best of the best which almost all of you have heard (1 in Cali, 1 in the Midwest). So my questions to you guys are:
1) A recommendation for a top flight coach in the East, that is nationally recognized, that would be interested in doing this. If it's not regional (all the coaches are in California), then I have to have a theoretical basis why I chose this coach (hence why he must be nationally known - I'm not being a snob here). If you would like to volunteer please PM me.
2) Any subject ideas I should address in the manual
3) Any input you would like to have - ideas, subjects, critiques, advice on directions. I want the Huey board to have a huge impact on this thing.
When it is all said and done, I will provide the manual to whoever has helped me in the process. I am really excited about this guys and will provide more details as they come. I am just starting, but it should be fun. I hope this will eventually turn into a complete resource for any coach at the high school ranks. I figure with all of your expertise, this could be really special!
Look forward to everyone's input!
