I have agreed (because I couldn't think of a reason to say "no") to speak at our all-sports clinic this summer (July). I have no idea what to present as a topic. By creating this thread, I am hoping to gain some insight on what people actually want. I know what I like to go and listen to... but it would help to get some ideas from others. I have given presentations before... always feel like they are not very good...
Please tell me things you would want to hear/find out/learn at a clinic (especially one so close to the start of the season).
Fire away...
(by the way, I need to submit by Friday 5/24... so anything after won't impact the decision)

I personally like topics that give you a good idea on how to do one thing well. Example: I saw Taylor Mazzone talk about running Snag. After that talk, I had a solid understanding of how to read, run, and protect that play. Felt good.
I also like topics that are applicable beyond your scheme/program. I listened to a guy talk 3-4 defense that was just god awful in terms of scheme, but his OLB went to Stanford, his DT went to a 1AA, and his NT went to somewhere in the Pac-12 while their secondary was a bunch of dudes who could flat out FLY across the field. It didn't matter what the schemes were and it definitely didn't matter how stupid they were because any pass was getting pressured within 1.3s and just about any run attempt was laughable. I left within 25m.
Food for thought.

I worked for a coach who every time we went somewhere to visit another coach, be it high school or college, he always asked about their screen game. Screens are something every offensive system uses so you will appeal to everyone.

Coach Senator-I assume you are a HC. As a HC what area do you feel most knowledgeable about? What is your area of expertise? OL play? DL play? Qbs? Pick that topic and talk about the fundamentals of that position. Thats what I like to hear. For example, our HC is really strong in QB play and throwing mechanics so he spoke about that at a clinic this past winter.

Weight training - benefits for all sports.
Sharing athletes - applying the lessons of kindergarten

It is an all sports clinic- but I will talk on football (several different sports sessions going on at one time). My audience will be football coaches.
Some good ideas so far... thanks.
I was thinking of these as possibilities:
1. Year-round program philosophy (we share almost all of our athletes)
2. Run and Shoot Passing game (basically our 3 step series) within the Single Wing Offense
3. Screen Game (I hadn't thought about that... might be good)
4. Program Organization (wt. training, expectations, practice schedule, etc.)
I have done program organization before (while in Nebraska). When I was a young HC, some of the things I got from "total program" or "program organization" did the most for me.
We are different than anyone on offense... and really on defense too... so I don't think "scheme" is a good topic.
Any other thoughts/ideas?
Good stuff so far...

How about team discipline as well as framing expectations with consequences?
