Play your kids, play to win. If they really sit their studs on offense and defense then you should get up big quick and be able to pull your kids.

Confidence and habits. You must train your players to run through the opposition with full force. If their confidence is low, they will hesitate and shy away. You must drill into their bodies HOW to hit and reinforce constantly to have relentless feet. Start by hitting inanimate objects, move to hitting shields, then to opposing players they should beat (make them win in scenarios they should). Finally once their confidence is up, gradually let them hit players as good or better than them. Now, you some of that with the entire team and other parts (winnable matchups) with specific players you’re trying to build.
Old coaching legend once told me “don’t put your best on best, it’s ok to have 2 guys believe they are THE STUD. Pit them against someone they should whip, and let someone else surprise you”. Part of building confidence! We have 2 OL’s that NEVER hit each other and think they can whip anyone! (They started the year looking like Tarzan and playing like Jane).

Offensive playcalling controls the game: tempo, going for it on 4th, how much you throw, who gets touches, etc. Therefore it makes sense for the HC to call offensive plays so he can control the game.

Find a way to play! If you have 11 or more kids who NEVER play varsity, FIND A WAY! Not playing the JV game is more demoralizing than losing bad!
PS try your best to find more evenly matched competition!

I think you cant do all three. When i call the plays (im an OC not a HC) when we are on defense i need to talk to my guys and see what's going on, ask them what is and isnt there, etc. You cant do that when you have to call the defense too. And vice versa if i was calling the D, i would need to talk to my guys while we're on O. I know the feeling of wanting to talk to my guys, but often times our guys play both ways the majority of the game. Might only have 2 guys on the entire unit who aren’t on everything. Coached for a guy who did everything as the HC, but he had coordinators helping on both sides, he just had final say and called the plays. So the coordinators would communicate with kids on the sideline if need be, and/or be the eyes from the box, whatever was needed for that side of the ball.

-SPT and QB’s dynamic warmup, everyone else walks through blocking schemes -SPT and QB do skill work, half way through everyone else goes through dynamic warmup -some sort of fit and drive fundamental drills (tackling/blocking) to get body ready for contact. -2 minute running 1 basic play to score, kick PAT, done

2 practices.
First practice is 2 hours, run just like an in-season practice.
Second practice complements the first, time varies. Fix it session, after watching film of first practice we go out and drill the things we need to fix. Next we do speed training, then we lift. Friday’s we condition to let them recover over weekend.

The big thing you can take from this thread is that there are a lot of right ways to structure your Monday practice. Agreed! Everyone has skills to teach/rep, scheme to install, situations to cover, while prepping the players bodies. Many different ways as long as it’s all covered.

I like to go full gear, you never know when some clumsy freshman falls face first into some guys thigh, or any freak accident for that matter. Let them suit up and run through everything on air. Should be a positive atmosphere, balls to the walls for a very short period. At the end of practice, confidence should be sky high!

ALWAYS FULL GEAR
Monday: fundamental focus, compete in everything, use 7 on 7 to teach structure of gameplan
Tuesday: focus on stopping the opponents best plays
Wednesday: do Tuesday better
Thursday: full speed run through on air (hit every unit and move on)
Notes: -we will work special teams every day; punt return at the end of defense, kick off after offense, etc. -keep track of drills and how much you’re taxing your kids, be smart and know when to tone down. (Sometimes the best thing is to get into team and get out to let them rest)

We just simply do an hour of each for every practice all year. If your practice efficiency is high you'll get more than enough reps.
