[glow=red,2,300]How preparation is structured is important in motivation. Two of the best coaches in college football, Urban Meyer and Pete Carroll, use this to their advantage. Much of what the Urban Meyer does at practice at Florida is to keep kids’ interest. He will start practice with an intense and competitive drill to create high levels of arousal, and this arousal will create the motivation needed to fuel athletes to have a successful practice. [/glow]
Do any of you do this? If you do, what drills do you use to compete for this? I thought about putting the JV offense vs. the #2 defense on the goalline or something of that nature, but I'm at a loss here. Also what of these drills can you do with a limited coaching staff (numbers).
Thank you.

We platoon so we have the ability to do a challenge drill every day. 1st O v 1st D all other kids are on the sideline raising as much excitement as possible (if they don't yell and scream for the entire drill the sideline does up downs) the challenge is for up downs or what ever punishment the captains decide.
Monday: 1st & 10 best of 3 -Offense must get 2 first downs (can't go on 4th & +3 or so we want game conditions)
Tuesday: Red - Zone best of 3 -1st and goal from the 15 offense must score 2 times
Wednesday: 2nd & Medium best of 3 -Offense and 2 downs to get a first; Also do 3rd & Long situations at the end of practice but not for challenge drill
Thursday: 2mn situation best of 3 - I make up whatever I want to see (eg = last week: 1:40 1 time out we need a fg to win, start on our 40)

What about if you don't have the ability to 2 platoon?

kr7263... what do you do if your offense does not get 2 out of 3?

Does anybody know what it is exactly Meyer does to challenge his players?

During spring practice, UF would start off practice just about every day with a one on one cross-hair or board drill--where two players line up a short distance apart and see which one could drive the other back. This got everyone hooting and hollering and all fired up to begin practice. It would be WRs vs DBs, OL vs DL, TE/RBs vs LBs. A competitive two-minute drill or Goal-Line Offense vs. Defense period are other competitive ways to begin practice to get the intensity up immediately. If you lack numbers, you could do Goal-Line as a half-line period to get best vs. best.

We use the board drill with our oline. They love it. We do it tournament style so there is a winner at the end who gets to talk smack for the week. It would be interesting to see dbs and wr do it.

The challange drill is for a set exercise or conditioning - typically up downs - so if the defense stops the offense or the offense fails to get 2 first downs the offense does the up downs.

The important thing about though was the coaches were just as involved as the players. Addazio was getting the offense pumped while McCartney was firing up the defense. Coach Meyer got in tthe middle of it and he kept score Offense vs Defense. |

Very good point about the HC keeping score. Thanks for adding that.
