Appreciating the process is difficult to teach and not just to the kids Many coaches struggle with it too. The devil is in the details when it comes to coaching and the kids need to take pride in everything they do: everything from taking the proper angle on a tackle to breaking a run for a huge gain and score. And, getting they need to appreciate the practice process that it takes to get there.

I agree w coachwilliams2 our defense will not be as good next year precisely for that reason. I take a different pov..teaching spill is so easy but it is so hard to do..we miss at least 2-3 every game

Complacency, for some of our kids they're content with being better than the guy beside them instead of the guy across from them

Offense: Teaching QB's to use their eyes to move the safety & releasing the ball before the WR is out of his break on timing routes.
Defense: Teaching young DB's sound man coverage & keeping their eyes out of the backfield.
Philosophy: College football isn't for everyone. Be a role player, help us win, and enjoy your time as a high school athlete.

Had the whole team wear them at times (got to be a bit much). It did have its uses though.

On offense it's zone blocking with the oline and trying to get RBs to not bounce everything immediately. Our RBs, no matter what grade, want to take trap (an a gap play) immediately outside the tackle box and usually run head first into the guy we're trying to kick out.
On defense, communication out of the LBs and DBs. Not knowing the coverage, not following your guy in man if he motions, etc. You go over the basics of what areas of the field you have, the land marks you use, etc.

We had the hardest time getting our guys to make one cut and get North and South. They wanted to run outside and then would get mad at the OL for "not blocking." We watched a ton of film to show the RBs who was in the wrong.

We watched a ton of film to show the RBs who was in the wrong. We started having success doing 1 of 2 things. 1st - Super slow walk through explaining where I run through the hole saying, "we're pulling the guard to divide the defense, split it in half" and have them understand, run straight. The kids need to learn that on counter, trap, power, it's a down hill run and the image of a red sea parting in the middle helps 2nd - "If you don't run through the right hole, the hole we tell you to run through, you won't carry the ball any more and will only block". Our RBs hate blocking more than they hate running inside runs. Hierarchy of needs.

The zone scheme is very difficult to teach We barely see it anymore (too bad) I think colleges are starting (a little ) to get away from it too..VERY expensive

It still boggles my mind how many kids get this wrong, even in a 1 on 1 drill where there is NO other receiver on the field We have the same issue. The kids always want to do too much. I always relay to my guys "Stop looking in the backfield, the QB isn't going to stare right at you and throw the ball right to you." Matching break points and angles and knowing the timing of a QB 3 step and 5 step drop also proved useful for our DB's

Consistent low pad level! We'd drill chutes, pvc's and bag drills but some guys come game time always want to get tall and peek when taking on blocks and stand straight up on offense.

For us I think it's mental toughness and the desire to be their best and FINISH. What we're teaching is not rocket science and the system/drills we use are proven. The kids that buy in 100% succeed. Those that don't, don't. It's maddening, I wish I knew how to instill that into all of them.

Mental Toughness is an interesting concept to teach. I feel like kids either have it growing up or they dont. Experience and on-field play is the only way to measure how far an athlete has come.

I like this as a concept hard to teach- mental toughness. It's easy to be "tough" when you're winning. Can you do all that is necessary even in a losing effort? That's a TOUGH lesson to teach AND learn from.

Nothing like a cinder block wall to give immediate feedback on bouncing the ball outside.

I bet I've got one knucklehead that still tries to run into the wall haha
