I know this is something we all do and something we probably all need to work on.
End result coaching to me is things like
"catch the ball"
"tackle him"
or in squats "get your heels down"
What's the problem? You are not telling the kid HOW to do those things. This is just the end result. Any more examples of this out there so we as coaches can catch ourselves saying them and fix it?
We fix it with "verbal blasts" Short one liner words that get across a point that we keep hammering about a specific point within a progression.
For example- "tackle him"
instead of that
we have
Lock
Load
Fire
Finish
EAch one of those words is a verbal blast our defensive coaches use. Each one focuses on the specific areas of tackling.
I would like to hear more

"Get the point!"
= Tells receivers to focus only on the nose (point) of the ball in flight to maximize hand-eye coordination (I know it's not one word, but I'm not smart enough to boil it down further).

We call this being a "fan with a whistle".....coaching is TEACHING, anything else - you're being a glorified spectator.

this was something we really focused on this spring...
example 1: Receiver was false-stepping coming off the line. rather than just say "hah, no false steps!!" we might say "put your back heel in the ground."
example 2: QB not following through... rather than just tell him to "follow through" we might say, "get camera 3 to the target" [i.e. camera 3 being located on the throwing shoulder]
instead of saying "catch it before you run" we might say, "look the ball all the way into the tuck"...
it's really the same things but our point was to try and be more specific to what we wanted. teach the kids the coaching points and they can coach themselves. just telling them to "catch it" or "tackle" isn't a true solution to the problem -- it IS the problem. we want to try to give them solutions to FIX the problem. so, that is why we are making a major effort to get away from the cliche's and be more specific with our "one liners"
good post, tog

we have names for all our different steps in our OL blocking progressions. ie. angle, slide, skip, etc... so when I am watching their feet all I need to say is good slide step, or the angle step needs to be more upfield, etc...
In our chute progressions when my OL take their first step we calk the elbows back like everyone else, but I actually have the kids say elbows back, on the 2nd step they say hands inside.

did you get that from UMinn
The TE coach spoke at the San Angelo clinic and their players also go through the 2 part progression of saying elbows back and hands inside

I just finished our Linfield football camp this last weekend. One thing they were teaching on run blocking was instead of 'reaching for the pistols' on the first step, they had them put their hands in the middle of their waste-line and fire up. They said the reason for this was it forced the O'line to keep their hands inside the framework of the defender and not get caught outside. However, I didn't really like this technique because my thought was, by putting their hands low and inside thier body like that, it would encourage the offensive lineman to rise slightly, I understand it, I just don't agree. Our aiming point with our hands is always at the D'linemans chest protecter with hands out (grabbing nipples), I really didn't have a problem with our hands outside the framework, so I'm not going to employ this kind of technique.

SAcoach,
yes, we picked that up from the gophers. We try and make down to a couple of spring and fall practices each year.
