00-03 rural area
PVC pipe watering station
We were still using pins and mesh bags for laundry.
Practiced in right field of the baseball diamond…..still remember taking tumbles into the in field and getting cinders in my cleats.
Craziest story was my junior year in the playoffs we played the state school for the deaf…..only they were sending their kids home for fall break, so we had to play them on a Wednesday.
Weirdest game ever.

How long have you been practicing, a week or two? This stuff is not natural especially for younger players. It takes reps, reps, and more reps. That's why you have practice every day. We’ve had spring ball, so our kids have been practicing since March. I got promoted to DC in May and further simplified things. We just have inconsistent practice attendance due to a wide variety of socioeconomic barriers. Rep counts are so varied across the board Good advice offered by several on here……hate to be that guy, but what does your weight room culture look like? Also, remember it is about continued improvement…..there is no arrival. Sometimes, what you are doing is right, it just takes time. You are always on the journey. Peace in nihilism brother.

let's get back to the football aspect of this- not the partisan aspect. This. Topics like this tend to go political….let’s all avoid that

10 hours/week. 1/2 weights, 1/2 field.
But, we are off a whole week in June, 4th of July week, and the last week of July.
This spacing really helps with player and coach fatigue.
We never have 3 straight weeks of football throughout the summer.
With school starting so early, it’s killed our traditional two a days (good riddance, talk about diminishing returns). Looking at our field work portion, we are basically taking what use to be two weeks crammed together and spreading it out over the summer.
So basically 6 weeks at 10 hours/week - 60 hours……30-40 of that is field work.
Part of fatigue management too is keeping things fresh and knowing when less is more. Some guys want beat a horse to death……everything has to look perfect and they grind until it does.
The problem is you are getting it to look perfect in practice…..a controlled environment against a scout team.
That’s why the returns are diminishing…..nothing can replace playing actual games……one of the reason (besides physical prowess) that 3 year starters are usually studs.

As an AI coaching model, I’ve been trained on a vast collection of strategies and techniques in regards to American football. As it pertains to stopping the offensive football play called power, here are some helpful suggestions…….
Language responsive AI is still a long way from environmentally responsive AI. For the former, football would be way down the list of jobs to be replaced. Add the mechanical side for the strategy to be implemented (robots), and you are looking at upending manufacturing, construction, etc.
That will be the tipping point of whether we all live a utopian life of leisure, or Sarah Connor the F out.
Something that can sense the environment real time, and respond with the most likely strategy for success would be mind boggling.
Even then, how does AI rely the corrections, because it the mechanical side is still flesh and blood in this case? How does it inspire a human to be better?
That’s one of the things that makes us different from AI Chat GPT…..they have no real emotions or more importantly, the convictions that drive those emotions.

Yes, it was a joke.
When we win a state title, I am sure we will have a ring distribution strategy that isn’t bat chit crazy

Track coach has to be one of most secure gigs due to lack of people who want to coach it.
Like, what would you have to do to get fired?
Maybe just do what you want

My deal is, if I leave coaching, there is nothing interesting about me.
Lay coach here, but you should see people’s eyes light up when they find out I coach high school football.
I get in business meetings, and when the small talk turns to that they are in awe……can’t tell you how many times folks will call me from these meetings and the first thing Yuly hey want to know is how ball is going….
Take that away, I’m another fat, white dude.
No, I cannot see ever letting go…..as a father, I understand guys who do…….but I think I may at least coach long snappers until I die

I get the option appeal……throw game probably makes the most sense.

I downloaded go army edge…..that was worth pulling this old thread up. No idea something like that existed.
Did you say you did use this in the oculus? Did it give a first person QB perspective?

Kind of the commonality of all the unique schemes listed is they are “spread the love” types of offenses. They are also series based, and you take what the defense gives you.
We moved to something like this, and went 7-3 with (5) players gaining over 300 scrimmage yards, and no one gaining over 1,000.
For us, it was a matter of making sure the critical touches went to the right guys. We would cross train our guys to make sure we could get them moved into the right position to take advantage of what the defense was giving us.
Now, if I had a scholarship kid at the skills, then I am either teaching him all the positions, or making sure the defense can never take away his touches by scheme.
If I had him at OL, then I am just going to run behind him all the time.

They are confused…..I would not plan for it
My guess is there is one of them mixing up right and left in the play call

Do it right, do it light…….do it wrong, do it long.
3 good reps are better than 9 average ones

Hey all. I’m new to the board and could use advice. I’m a young coach. Been doing it for years but have a situation I’m new to and need help. I got a job with a big time prep school this season. Overall I’m doing great but there is one kid I’m having trouble with. He’s a 4 star going to a big time school with a terrible attitude. He sometimes barely tries in practice, and then blames the coaches for things. How do you handle this stuff when yelling and being hard on him doesn’t do it, and the efforts to build rapport haven’t worked? Sounds like you’ve tried the carrot and the stick…..yelling stick at least. I would ask myself the question “is this hurting the team?”…….if yes, then remove playing time. If not, then swallow your pride. Is he like this with other coaches, or just you?

Tragedy is easier faced as a group/family.
Kids will all grieve differently, as a counselor, you know that. You also know that listening is far more powerful than any words you can think to say.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, and that is not a platitude.

When you are a HS coach (unless in a state such as TX where your coaching-teaching jobs are connected, or if you are trying to make coaching football your career): It's one leg of your personal table. First is family. Second is teaching (because that pays the bills). Third is coaching. Fourth is whatever hobbies-interests you have outside of Football. Got to keep that table in balance. Make mine a three legged stool. There are no interests that I can focus on like I focus on football. I like things, but I am addicted to football. What probably has me set up to go the distance is my work (non-educator) has always been fairly high stress, and football is the release. Plus, after having my son, I’ve come to enjoy the relationships over the X’s and O’s

I don’t have data on negatives and scores, but I do have some on negatives and converting the series.
This is with an average offense…..lots of 1st year varsity starters, lots of sophomores.
This offense was 100% on 3rd and 2 or less, and 19% on 3rd and 8+…….The 3rd and longs situations were 67% a result of penalties, and 29% the result of losing yardage……the minimal balance was a 3rd and 8 where positive yards/no gains occurred on 1st and 2nd down (usually a 1 yard gain and incomplete pass, or vica-versa).
Like tog said, focusing on building no loss run plays will mostly likely keep you in 3rd and manageable at worst……

I was a junior OG. Team we were playing rolled out a 150 lbs NG who was quick but was struggling against the wedge play.
He was chippy, and I almost never talked, but this game I got him twice.
The first one…..you should know I was kind of psycho who painted his fingernails the team colors of our opponent…….this kid sees it and goes: “nice fingernails”
Me: “you like that”
Him: “my girlfriend likes to paint her nails”
Me: “I know what else your girlfriend likes”
My center almost false started he was laughing so hard.
Same game, and we had ran wedge 4 times in a row for 40+ yards…..I looked at that kid pre-snap and said, “we’ve ran the same play 4 times in a row. We are getting ready to run it again, and there is nothing you can do to stop it”……..touchdown

Depends on how good the player is, and how blatant the trash talking is This is absolutely going to start a back and forth here, but why does the player’s ability factor in? You either have a standard of conduct for your team or you don’t. That is an either/or logical fallacy. 100% or 0% presented as the only options, when in fact there are good reasons to have 95% consistency and 5% you handle case by case. Level of talent comes into play because for average football players, I’ve found trash talking distracts them from their assignment…….had the occasional case where for our best dudes, it actually increased focus due to their competitive nature. Here’s the bottom line for me: it is not encouraged, but as long as it is not noticeable nor distracting, it is not a hill I’m going to die on.
