We still watch film as a team, not a fan, I would rather sit with my line group and discuss certain aspects of the film then in team room,

So here's my issue....stay with me as long as possible. I start structured weight room every year on the first week of December and it runs throughout the school year and summer, as most programs do. I invite ALL (girls and boys) athletic programs to lift with us and offer to tailor their workouts to what ever the coach might want, specifically the in-season teams so that it might take some burden off of the head coach in concerning him/her self with training. I do this for 2 reasons: 1. I think that EVERY kid in our athletics program should be in the weight room and lifting properly with a structured program suited to their needs. 2. I want to take some burden off of our head coaches who are in-season or pre-season, as it's not that hard for me to work with their athletes when I'm off-season. All of that being said, I only have a few programs that take me up on the offer (girls soccer, girls softball, and girls basketball). None of the other sports lift on their own regardless of the time of year. That brings me to the first question: Why the crap wouldn't you want someone to train your athletes with absolutely NO extra effort, responsibility, or time required of you? I'm asking this because many of those in-season kids are MY football players. I want them to train, but their coaches won't let them train in-season (even if it's only twice a week.) ISSUE NUMBER 2. The varsity track coaches (boys and girls.. they co-coach both teams). Don't spend ONE SECOND with their athletes outside of their scheduled season until about 3 weeks before their first meet. At that point they approach the AD and tell him they want the weight room for themselves after school (3:00) until 4:45. Despite the fact that I fill out a yearly calendar and reserve the WR for after school lifting (for all sports) in advance. The AD has caved to this for the past 3 years (including this year) and told us that we're out. Here's my problem... I've been training my athletes (many of which are THEIR athletes) since November and now they want to demand the weight room to themselves 3 weeks before their season? To be clear, they're not doing this because they don't understand or because they're simply unaware...they're D-bags. Believe me, I have a million examples of how I know this, but I won't kill you with them here. So my next question is: Am I missing something and just not getting it? I think I may have been a little hasty when discussing this with our AD last week in stating that we have awful coaches who don't put any time or consideration into our school's athletics. I continued by telling him that they are paycheck hounds who have no idea how to approach athletics of any kind and that we'll always have mediocre to bad athletics as long as we have guys like this on staff. I don't want to come off whiny, but I'm sick of busting my pickle to put together a great program for our boys only to have other coaches pee on it with their garbage effort and habits. What to do? Opinions? Tell me I'm wrong. Not wrong at all, I totally agree with your points. Just a couple of things 1. Track is in season 2. That is the only thing I guess

I do agree quality was down, but lets be honest, with the social media, and all the twitter chats, Glazier offering the multiple eclinics and webinars what is the need to attend the clinics. To me the biggest issues they bring guys in who do not relate to their largest buyers of their product and that is high school coaches. Heard a speaker talking about pass sets who even made the comment do not if you could do this with high schoolers. Thanks for nothing. Get back to bringing relevant content to the high school caoches

My biggest problem with this year's Glazier, not sure if they couldn't get enough speakers but they Chalk Wars took up all of Saturday. The planning was terrible. The same weekend the Nike Clinic was going on about 5 miles away if that, plus there were numerous other Glazier Clinics.

Was at pittsburgh this past weekend, very disappointed with speakers and topics. Thought Chalk Wars idea was dumb, good idea on paper but not in practice. Just get tired of hearing College and Pro guys talk about what they do etc.... but never really relate to the numerous high school coaches in the room

I think we have either Russell or Riddell can't remember only because their Crimson matches our school colors the best. Only issue we had were the reds bleeding when they were washed. Bought a set of uniforms when we started back almost 8 years ago, no problems with them. We did get new white ones with gold numbers, up close they look awesome but from a distance you can not make out the numbers If you do go the Nike route, please follow the pre washing directions that the manufacturer gives you, you will kick yourself later if you do not. We actually send ours out to be reconditioned every week after wearing, it was I believe All American or Riddell who screwed them up

Not sure how it is in the rest of the country but in VA we are allowed to wear helmets during 7v7. Some tournaments wear them some don't...we were at a 7v7 today where the helmets were mandatory but a couple of teams showed up w/o them forcing us to play w/o our helmets for which we have never practiced.. Why would anyone choose not to wear a helmets if they could? In the past few years in PA we were allowed to wear helmets, and some we actually wore upppers. This year they are changing the rule to where we are not allowed to wear any equipment at all during summer workouts. I feel helmets are important just for protection, those of you who are not allowed to wear helmets how do you take the risk out of these

OL coach/LB coach AA school in PA about 180 boys Mon-Thurs about 20 at practice I get there about 230 out about 600 Friday-Usually depending on game and where but usually spend about 6-7 hours on game day Saturday-Film in the Am with coaches an additional 3-4 hours
At home about 10-15 hours
This has nothing to do with productivity, this is just the bare minimum.

Spent the weekend at Glazier in Pittsburgh, listen to two different O-line guys, Dave Johnson from Ohio University. He was awesome, his presentation was loaded full of info and kept to a level that I can use with high schoolers. Showed clips but not many actually about 10, total but they were there to show technique. I also watch Jim McNally, the info was good but it was given in the first 10 minutes then showed clips of all pro linmen using his techniques and kept saying I don't know if you could use this with high school kids.

My frustration is with coaches who stand up there brag about what they run and how they run then you come to find out A. It was never there stuff and they are on the circuit making a buck on someone elses stuff 2. Guys who talk like they currently coach and come to find out they have not been in the game for the last couple of years.

My "worst" right now after one clinic is watching two "RPO" presenters talk on package plays which the QB reads numbers pre-snap (i.e. IZ/Bubble). Dude, THAT'S NOT AN RPO! Dude that is a presnap RPO, he has the option to throw the ball at the snap or run the play, then you post snap RPO

Do you care to expand on this, because I have to completely disagree with that statement If you think your kids are actually paying attention to you, or understand what you are saying if they are, you have entirely different kids than I've ever encountered in my life. Most chalk time I've ever been a part of has been mostly beneficial in satisfying that coach's ego. Really? I think you have structured your chalk time completely wrong

I don't think there's a bigger waste of time you could involve yourself in than trying to have chalk time with HS kids, but if that's your thing I'm not going to convince you otherwise. Do you care to expand on this, because I have to completely disagree with that statement

My question about watching film after install or practice, I have always felt it made more sense to see it before you walk through run it on the field. My coach believes in watching after practice as well but I find at that point, most guys want to get out of there any ways and the focus is not there

Not a fan of the flipped classroom, most of the of teacher who use this method are the ones also say homeowrk is bad. One goal this is to attempt to use an interactive game plan, send out diagrams, quizzes etc.. to guys have them watch and identify, etc... plus I want to include more collaboration with G Suites with the players

We never had the meeting in the true sense of the word, I would still time after practice or before practice to quickly review something. We install and talk everything on the field and it usually ends up not working. Our kids have an attention span of very short and seem to have a hard retaining as we line up on the field. Plus I find their attention span shorter on the field, because there are a ton more distractions. I am hoping we are moving to a more meetings this year

I agree with all these points and I know I have ask these questiosn before but how do you get the young guys to see the value of scout team. I remember my days in HS we loved scout team and took pride in it. Trust me it made me a better player and guys across from me better. It just seems some of these have the entitled attitude and scout team is beneath them

How do you "lose because of numbers" yet still have kids not get any PT? We play ALL kids on JV every game. Not the same amount of PT, but everyone gets in. We also have a good number of contributing Soph's up on varsity. We have definitely lost games because of those 2 tactics, but we are able to keep numbers. PT also helps to improve parental support...not that we dont have the drunk uncle or loud mom in the stands, cuz we do, but the parents give more support at home when their child gets in the game. I think the people to talk to right now, would be the kids talking down the program, especially if they have plans to stay on the team. We had to cancel games last year b/c the numbers, I think our entire team 9-12 had 37 members. There were days with injuries where we might of practiced 25 at the most. The other issue we had quite a few 9/10 graders playing significant varsity time.

I am glad I am not the only one who has gone through this. I had more kids cry then I did when I coached little baseball and the kid struck out. I understand the emotion of football and believe I have cried as a player and a coach but to cry like the kids I had this was crazy. I had kids cry in the middle of the game b/c the got taken out, or it didn't go the way it was suppose to. The crazy part it was my young guys either, it was seniors. The freshmen on my team looked at them like they were crazy
