This is my first playoff year as a HC...I want to make sure I lead us right. The majority of me say keep your practice week the same and stay on task as usual.
Here in Florida you play 1 more regular season game that is not a district game and is before playoff game. My guys are a bit off because it is also the schools first playoff game in 5 years and none of our kids have experienced this. So we have had an off week of practice trying to get them focused on this last game.
So I'm wondering if shaking up practice would be good for playoff week?
What is some ideas you have seen for playoff week and game before playoff start?

Keep it the same but shorten things. Body's are beat up this time of year. Keep your dudes fresh for the playoff run.

A guy I used to work for only put on pads on gameday during the playoffs. Like Rudy said, keep them fresh. You have a playoff team, don't want to do anything stupid and get anyone more banged up than they already are.

Oklahoma Drill!
Seriously though, don't change anything. The kids know its playoffs, if they haven't been in this situation before they may be nervous. Keeping things the same communicates to the kids, "you have nothing to worry about, we're going to attack this game just like every other game of the season."

Limit contact. We still work tackling though: lots of circuits with stand-up dummies and leg-tackling versus agility bags.

A few years back Alabama was preparing to play in the SEC Championship Game against Florida. A reporter asked him if they were doing anything special at practice to prepare for such a big game. Saban said, "If we knew a better way to practice, we would have been doing it all along."

We are in a similar situation. The team we play before the Play-offs is horrible (0-forever). We brought up JV's 2 weeks ago and they have been practicing against the really bad teams stuff while my Defensive starters have been reping our first round opponents big hitter plays. I know this breaks every rule of Coaching but I'm really hoping it works out. If not I guess I'll become that why not story. We have been toning down the contact in team a lot but staying physical in individual drills even though the kids are bored out of their minds.

Do you bring up JV for the playoffs? If you don't have enough for a scout team then yes. If you have enough reward a few that deserve it IMO. |
