Bingo blb Seems to me, if you have realized you need change, that means you have identified errors/mistakes/areas needing improvement. What are those areas? Edit-- you identified kids just standing around. When? At what portion of practice? Team? That's going to happen sometimes, particularly if you are just repping 16-17 kids because you have several 2 way players and a 60 man roster. If they are standing during team def. you need 2 scout teams coming at them Same when you are on offense 2 defense rotating every 5

Great speaker is , Bill Blankenship, if you get a chance to catch him do it. Upbeat passionate and great stuff that he speaks on! How's his special teams DVD? You know, I don't own it, but I have heard him speak on special teams at glazier clinics. Very good stuff, got some good handouts too

I agree, save your money and read something by John Wooden. Interesting...Our HC is buying the book...maybe it would be good for the kids to have a workbook. .I am going through chasing perfection right now and although I think it is a good book, I am sadly unimpressed maybe it was all the hype...I did love above the line The "Be an 11" stuff by bfs is good if you are looking for a workbook style material.

sounds like you agree with the bill, then Yeah. Some people have had good experiences with peewee football but I havnt been around many peewee programs that have the money to properly equip the kids. As far as coaching goes that's all relative in my opinion. There are dumba$$es in high school ball that do dangerous things as well. I just don't really see the need for kids to play tackle football in 5th grade or lower. I was at a program a few years agho where they started in 1st grade. What exactly are they accomplishing that early? I think they should play flag football until 5th grade.

My second year as a HC - I was 26, still young, dumb, and full of you-know-what - we were doing a 1-on-1-type drill and we got down to the bottom of the roster, so we had two kids, neither of whom was taller than 5-9 or weighed over 140, going at it.
When they finished (meaning neither won and I blew the whistle to mercifully end it), I turned to our DC and said (under my breath or so I thought), "That looked like two old people f-----g!"
Three years later when I left for another job and coaches held a "going away" party (which included Superintendent who hired me) for my wife and I - guess which story was brought to light?
It was 1980. Things were a little different then. But I'm still embarrassed and feel badly about having said it every time I think about it. My DC calls it "drunk turtle sex"...aka everything is slow and sloppy Blahahhahaha

What led to all the dead football players with CTE? Was that the spread offense as well? Perhaps all the PEDs they used, but for some reason that anglee is being totally left out for all concussions all the time. Heck, even the kid fresh out high school that killed himself had used roids. U are right, Tim brown mentioned that the other day. He said so many players drank way to much and other drugs. We all know those effect the brain as well. Using himself as an example. He said he never drank or used drugs and never had a concussion in 18 years of NFL. So if you count college and high school . Nothing in 26 years of playing. Not to mention junior stuff. And why has nobody brought up soccer has more concussion, and headers are being outlawed? Heck cheerleading as the most injuries period out of all activities .

I think there are more kids playing that are basketball types or baseball types now that football is fun and not so so boring, don't you larrymoe? Once the game becomes faster and more like basketball on grass you get more of those fragile kids trying to play a real man's game. I heard a guy say this once while he was trying to sell a new offense. yes, the spread has allowed Non tough guys/kids to play . I'm not saying playing concussed makes u tough. I'm saying guys that just want to run around 7-7 style. Has it saved some schools their football programs yes it has. But now there is so many more prima donnas playing... Running around and catching passes is a lot easier then hitting the blocking sled or practicing taking on the lead.

larrymoe, I get what you are saying but saved may be a better word. With the concussion scare in America today, basketball on the gridiron is a way to preserve the sport in some peoples eyes. You know, there is a pretty good argument that "spread" is what has caused the rise in concussions. Because of wide outs being left out to dry, blind sides on qbs. Not to mention The defensive players applying the hits

This is a great topic; what do other staffs do to develop chemistry amongst themselves, especially when a new staff is assembled or this is a bit of turnover? How do you spend time outside of meetings, the weight room, and practice to make sure the staff members develop great relationships? I know some staffs and schools just send their dues in and online rules then go to a lake , and do all their planning for the year, then golf, fish, grill, last 2 days all the families show up and might rent pontoon boat or something. Staffs I've been on, Christmas parties together , golf after morning weights, Eating together after games. Get together and play poker over Christmas or spring break etc. It's hard to do stuff when coaches have little ones. Like myself, or commute far to work.

My experience has been...I get very little from big time college coaches. If I had their jimmys and Joes, I could do a lot of s***. I have 35 kids. Really 16 guys who can play. Now help me scheme.... That's why I like listening to the smaller college guys and high school guys.

Not sure if you're talking about a weight room warm up or an actual practice warm up. For the Fitness class I teach we often do circuit warm ups. I will usually have 4 or 5 stations, like: - Hurdle over-unders (for hip mobility) - Foam rolling - A Speed/Agility/Quickness station which could be any of the following: skipping, speed ladder, BFS dot hop circuit, - stairs circuit, bag agilities, line hops - Overhead squats and lunges with a PVC pipe - Band pull-aparts and/or band x-walks - Ankle mobility and an extended stretch (hip flexors, lats, hamstring, leg swings) I've noticed that it has really helped our athletes squat lower. That sounds a lot like what i do to get them ready to lift or run, but we do some form of lunge everyday

I am leary reading about all these "culture" books. Don't be an a-hole, treat people right, work hard, develop a brotherhood. there give me $12.95 no charge for shipping..people over process, process over plays..that will be $10.95 thanks for shopping at jgordon1..no charge for my tag line below I'm with you coach...I get wary of anything that leans into the "self-help" world, no disrespect to anybody, just not my cup of tea. I think it stems from the time I had detention three days and the dude made me read "the 7 habits of highly effective people" which I thought was really silly but a lot of people enjoyed. Then again what the hell do I know, I have an ingrained distrust for politicians, preachers, car salesman, pyramid schemes, guru's of all worldviews, and pretty much anybody else who tries to build a following around themselves or get rich based on buzz words and being really enthusiastic (ON FIRE BABY!!!!) So u distrust yourself?

Just to throw a new name in the bunch instead of the usual...I think it is worth your while to go check out Phil Longo at Sam Houston State... He runs a heck of an up tempo offense that is as good as it is fast. I love to watch guys that are doing things different but sometimes go unnoticed! Great guy to listen to at clinic

I just said that because he is the most well known Flexbone guy and he is doing it at the highest level of College Football. (Power 5 team) and has found a lot of success. Which Flexbone coaches do you regard as experts or masterminds? I'd like to get to know more than just PJ and Niumatalolo. The guys down at Harding university in Arkansas do, d2 Chris hill at Wynne Arkansas, used to be an air raid now flex The guy that just got hired at lake Hamilton, Jeremy reed, won a title last year at Altus , ok, running it, is pretty dang knowledgable too

I think it would be easier to know who the "best minds" were if we had a more universal terminology. Most of the time I think I'm reading some kinda unbelievable new trend in the game then 45 minutes later I figure out that it's something else I've already heard of just called something completely different. What other field does this? Brain surgeon: "yeah i'm just gonna wollymuch around in the bloofer and after that i'll reduct the pluplek until is renoves around" Medical student "what are you talking about?" BS: "oh I just have my own terminology for everything in the brain" gimmie a break.... unfortunately it'll never change..we can bog down what we do into jargon to make it seem more complicated, this helps us sell our latest ebook and seem smart to the ladies at the VFW hall. I just laughed out loud to this!
