I struggle in the off season. I literally watched the first half of our semi state game before I couldn't do anymore. It was painfully obviously what would have made the difference
During the season. That is probably my favorite part is the differene offenses, as far as scout.
I am not religious as far as breaking down the film that night. That being said if for some reason so I don't, it is nearly impossible for me to revisit it as I have moved on to next week.

Back when I was making decisions for the defense and when I was in the groove; I was over watching film before Friday. We had a good relatioships with most teams in our region so we would early trade for the following week. On game days I would be watching/inputting data for the following week's game as my kids worked on their weekly quiz. It actually was a very relaxing exercise to get my mind off the task for that night by problem solving another team. It was almost like taking a mental nap to rest up for the game that night. |

Like a lot of things, it's amazing how much exchanging film has changed through the years. I'm 42 years old and can remember my dad (who was a coach) watching film on a projector in the early '80s. Even when I started coaching in the early '00s I had to meet someone halfway on Saturday morning to exchange a VHS tape, make copies of it, etc. Very tedious. This past season we had a bye week, and I went out of town for the weekend. I had already received a couple of films on our next opponent from other coaches to get a head start but when the time came Saturday morning for the official exchange I made it through my phone while driving down the road in New York state and broke down their last game from my hotel room that night.

The last VHS tape I received was in 2010 from our big rival. We were 2-5 and they were 4-3 and figured to punch their playoff ticket against us. Before the game their HC was walking around them stretching and trying to pump them up by yelling stuff like "They ain't got nothin!". We physically beat them senseless and they ended up missing the playoffs.
And their HC ended up being my DC two years later when they cooped with us.

Back in 2005, as soon as a game was over, we would put a film in and we had a tower that copied that film to 4 or 5 DVDs at one time. We thought we were gods of technology!

This is exactly what I try to do. Data input is mind numbing in a way. So it is the perfect exercise for a Gameday, and it gives you a jumpstart for the weekend work. |

I used to think watching film of the next opponent on a Thursday or Friday was a distraction. The last two years I started at least my special teams breakdown on those two days. Amazing how much more relaxing this made the weekend having that done already.
