I've won a couple of rings myself and I definitely recommend filming practice. It's whatever your personal preference when it all boils down to it. I'm sure you can be successful without watching practice video but I've found over the years that you are able to correct a players mistakes and show him exactly what he's doing wrong instead of just telling him.
You might be surprised to find out how many things are actually being done wrong by your players. During practice you can't have your eyes on everyone at the same time. It's just easier for me to explain it to a player when he can see himself on a video screen and I'm able to pause the video and correct him or explain why his fit has to be a certain way.
Some people don't see the need and that's fine, I'm just not one of those people.

Sometimes I think we overanalyze this thing guys. I've been places where we taped practice and won lots of games. Was at a place where we taped practice and lost every game. Now I'm at a place that never films practice, never stretch, only dress in full pads one day a week and guess what, we win lots of games.

There is no 100% right way. If there was, everyone would be doing it!

I watch film every morning with my OL. It usually takes 15 minutes...tops. Most of the guys bring their breakfast with them, it's our time together. We film practice Monday - Wednesday. It's amazing how much better we got when we instituted this last season. They can see when they're pad level is high or stepping with the wrong foot, or when they're loafing and not moving their feet. They can also see when they get something correct and they usually build on that.
We have a tower and we film from behind during inside run and from the side during our team session. Filming practice and watching it with the players is one of the best teaching tools their is. Everyone does it with game film, it's twice a good with practice film. You can point out effort and footwork much easier with practice film and that carries over to game days.

I think you have to do what's right for your kids/program. Some kid get alot out of film, extra meetings etc. Others get burned. So you have to measure the benefit of film vs. the level YOUR kids can handle. As far as filming to check on your coaches. All I can say is wow. If your that much of a control freak you are in the wrong business and you will burn yourself out real fast. Surround yourself whith quality people you can trust. Find people who are passionate and care about kids. The rest will take care of itself and you won't have to go around checking up on people all the time.

I know for me when I first started as an OC and did not film practice I would only remember the really good plays and really bad plays. . .the average plays would get lost in the mix and there were certinly more average than the other two choices. When we sarted filming practice it was great to review the entire offense. I was usually focsed on a paticular area of the play and missed the BS or didnt notice certian things. We would capture live on my computer and I'd watch it at night after the my kids went to bed. The next morning I would have a short list of good things and things that needed corrected at each position for each offesive coach. Then through the day as the position coaches had a chance to look at the film, they would have my list and see that on play 15 the BS slot stalked the safety insead of cracking or whatever. It only took me about 30 mins once I got more efficent at the breakdown and it helped our team tremedously.

I film our team periods on offense & show it to the players at least one practice a week & meet with the QB every night. It is better to see the mistakes after practice instead of wondering what happened during the game & then watching the game tape.
