Hey everyone... I've been asked to speak about our power run game at our state coaching convention next week and want to see what everyone thinks about what I'm planning on presenting. I hate going to clinics and seeing a guy get up there and just show one play for 45 minutes then show like 3 clips of that play the last 5 minutes before the session being over, so I am thinking of being VERY basic with the powerpoint version, then spending as much time using the video as possible. Does that sound like a decent idea that would be more helpful than most clinic sessions? We do block some of the plays differently than what some would call "traditional", like blocking back on the backside instead of scooping or "running the rails" to try and keep the backside open for cutbacks. Should I put some more slides in and discuss some of that in more detail or should I keep it and just answer the question while we are watching the clips and explain why our backside is blocking out on the backside? Here is the PPT as I have it now: dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38263015/Football%20Stuff/2016%20UFCA%20Clinic%20PPT.pdfI plan on just pulling up my HUDL account with our full offensive breakdown for the season and clicking on each play-type and watching about a half dozen of each of the types. Feedback? Just let me know. Doesn't matter if you are an offensive guy or defensive guy, just looking for what would be the best for a majority of coaches to see. We did win our state title, so I assume some defensive guys may want to come see what we were doing exactly.

I'd personally rather see video than a bunch of power point slides, but I'm a visual learner. I think just like students, everybody is probably different.

I think your power point slides give the basic visual and then you can spent as much time you want on the video for each play. Good plan.

My opinion, the guys will get less out of the clinic if the time is spent showing WHO to block and showing the scheme, and a lot more out of it by looking at film and a discussion of little points that really make the play go, techniques, aiming points, reads, etc.

I have a presentation I use when teaching power
I have a few clips of our power scheme but the majority of the slides and video are of my drills
We all get be basic idea of power, there's no special nugget of info here... Yeah you block down, yeah someone kicks out, yeah someone wraps... Ok cool I don't think you need to see a ton of clips of that
However teaching/showing them exactly how you teach it... All those little details... That's something that will make them go wow this guy was amazing, I really can install this now
To me it's kinda like that old saying, something like give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for life

If it's pretty basic power it shouldn't take more than five minutes to go through the basic blocking and then show a bunch of video, then repeat with one tag or formation, more video, another adjustment, more video.

While too much PowerPoint can be bad, I think some people may get bored seeing the same play 20 times as well. Good balance is always nice. And BTW, you're QB stuff is great!

A few random thoughts... I'm not sure of the approach you're going to take or how long you have to present. Are you going to mostly focus on scheme and tactical adjustments/complimentary plays? Or are you going to focus on how you install power and how you teach the fundamental skills and drills to be successful at running this play? I never liked the format where the presenter went through all his PowerPoint slides, then showed all the video at the end. I prefer the video integrated in throughout the presentation - talk about something, then show video of it before moving on. For example: - First talk about the playside combo block technique - Second, show video how you teach and drill combo blocks - Third, show game (or scrimmage) footage of the block (here you can show great combo blocks, then show mistakes with an explanation of the error and how to correct it) I think using still shots and 'telestrations" (still images with arrows drawn on it) is a very good teaching aid that is really underutilized by clinic presenters. It's very easy to screencap video then paste it into your PowerPoint and add arrows. I did this for an offensive scheme presentation I made back in 2011 and got some very positive feedback from the audience. I'll link my presentation below if you want to see what I'm talking about: *This is a presentation on taking advantage of CANADIAN RULES in your offense, so the content is of little value to American coaches. I'm just posting it to give you some format ideas PS - I can't believe how crappy our video quality was back then! www.dropbox.com/s/4cukyevr7kydii0/QUADS%20OFFENSE%20FINAL%20PDF%20with%20YOUTUBE%20LINKS.pdf?dl=0

We did win our state title, so I assume some defensive guys may want to come see what we were doing exactly. I really think it depends on your audience. I remember being p1$$ed when I was a younger coach and a presenter would do nothing but go through film. I had no clue about the in's and out's of football, let alone a single play or concept. Now, if a coach is spending 20 minutes on how to block Trap vs. 8 different fronts I'm falling asleep. Maybe plan for both and see what kind of audience you have. I like when presenters will ask something like, "Alright, now how many of you guys in here are already running the Power?" I think they can tailor their presentation to their audience after that. As a veteran coach now (who still only knows about 10% of the game) I REALLY like when coaches get into the details of what makes their stuff work. Things like catch phrases they use for players ("Find the butt, make the cut"), techniques they teach their players, drills, etc. are helpful for anybody.

I'm with coachbdudI'd rather find out HOW you do something, as opposed to WHAT you do. Showing drill footage mixed with scheme and game footage is a great way to show the connection between the classroom, practice and the carryover on Friday night. This is what I like seeing when I go to clinics.

Good base! To every coach, his scheme is great! In a clinic, you are teaching the teachers. Show them how to teach it to kids. We can get too complicated at times. Simplicity, put into a system that kids feel comfortable with, will make them successful! If you can teach the coaches that, your presentation will be a success (kids are visual learners, are coaches?).
