I've been getting some good drill ideas off of some of the accounts on Twitter that I have been following, but scheme discussion can sometimes turn into a "puff your chest" session. There's some good and some bad.

It really seems like up until around a year or so ago that twitter was a great resource for football information and most of the ego's were set aside etc. Now it seems like sooooo many coaches are chasing clout and trying to sell "systems" that are made up of things everyone has been doing for decades! I guess, to me, it use to feel more laid back and more coaches banding together to share info. Just doesn't feel that way anymore. |

I've gotten a fair amount of good info from social media; there's some great coaches who are willing to share what they know. But, it still doesn't compare to this site. I asked all over social media about POBA style IZ blocking last year and had to wade through a lot of bullchit. But, it only took one PM to tog on here to get me squared away and comfortable coaching it. that's the beauty here there are people that know something at least and hopefully they will help |

Football Twitter was once great but sadly I have gotten away from it. To the point that I deleted the app when previously I used it daily. When it was just guys sharing clips and info and having discussions it was awesome. Those Twitter relationships turned into phone calls, zooms, and texting back and forth with guys that I consider a couple of my best coaching friends.
As far as buying systems... This is a results oriented business and I don't think buying systems is bad. There's no badge of honor for doing it the old school way. That's not efficient anyway. It's a waste of time AND money actually. And as a HC systems give you an advantage because it allows you to get your staff on the same page. You can't just go hire a new staff anymore. At least not in my part of the country.
Now take that with a grain of salt because I was a TFS client for 15+ years. If I could buy a Single Wing or Power T system I would.

Apopka sells their system Coach is on here Bluedarter I think? Tim Murphy sells single wing and double wing stuff as well |

This is exactly my problem with BFS. Oddly, the BFS people I know are also the Facemelter purchasers. The entire "#BuildYourBrand" culture is insufferable. Coaching or otherwise. BFS is an interesting comparison as the program is older than some of these guys posting. I used BFS in the past because I knew it was a complete program used by colleges and adapted to HS..Really in those days there really wasn't much info to go around. They had years of data, books,and magazines articles to refer to. To me, you need to evaluate what you are purchasing..some of it is good...some not some much. for instance, some of the glazier programs like pat Fox are very good... BFS was the God send in the pre-intranet days..... also before schools started getting full time strength coaches in house... most of us might be 'weight lifting' guys but mostly we were simply football coaches and needed a plan for our team. |

To me, the big benefit of Twitter is the ability to easily integrate video clips. A 20-second video of a drill or technique can be more valuable than 2 paragraphs explaining it. I'm not smart enough to debate anything with anyone, so I stick to reading and watching rather than posting myself. Coach, this is why you come to coachhuey.com The way to get SMART is to discus/debate ideas on a platform that is open to discussion and debate. As I have had said to many who have invoked questions my why.... just ask, I'll be glad to talk. and I'm sure most on here agree. |

I will start with this. I may be in the minority when I say this but I am all for a coach capitalizing on his success because we live in an age where communities/schools expect instant results and many of us are moving sooner than we wanted. However, the twitter posts that drive me nuts, come mostly from high school assistants who post videos of their kids working out, doing agility drills etc. and post about #thegrind or X amount of days until ___ High School! Especially the videos of kids working out with bad form. We put out a blanket social media policy 2 years ago that no videos or pictures will be posted by any coach or player in regards to any team activity and its worked out nice. When pictures get posted online, it comes from our school's director of marketing who keeps them generic and more about the program/school. Also individual spotlights on kids attending certain camps. Nah, we will promote our TEAM and leave the individual promoting to emails/phone calls. Just my 2 cents for what its worth..

I have no problem with a coach who's been doing something for a very long time and had a lot of success doing it making some coin off his invention. I have a sincere problem with the sub group of coaches that get into it looking to "build their brand" and trying to market something they just started doing and more or less probably cobbled together from someone that was just looking to share free information. |

I was planning to make a post about twitter on here and then saw this. People have contended one of the main reasons this board is a ghost-town shell of its former self is that "twitter is the happening place these days", but every time I try to get on twitter, i dont have much luck finding the kind of discussions had in the past (and occasionally now) on here. Plus, I cant stand the format of twitter for football coaching discussion, it's basically like trying to have a discussion through post-it notes......Here it is organized, searching is decent, etc. Anyone know of any decent places on twitter they can point me to where these great discussions are supposedly being had? #HogFBChat #ALFBChat #TXHSFBChat #NoFlyZoneChat #FLHSFBChat Those are good places to start, i like following people who post content (Images/Film/Playbook sheets, etc) which is why I try and do the same. Real good discussions with those at different times! |

There can be too much crap to sift through to get usable information at times. When I asked about POBA-style IZ blocking on one page, an argument over whether it should be called "Duo" or "Inside Zone" ensued. An argument that took over the thread quickly. I stated that I could care less what tag it carried: I needed teaching tips. I had to block four guys on the thread before I picked up something worthwhile. There's often too many cooks in the kitchen on social media pages. |

I think Dunning Krueger has been generally disproved.
I read an article a while back that even Dunning and Krueger have acknowledged there findings weren’t fully accurate.
There’s some irony in many people using Dunning Krueger to confidently point out others inefficiencies.

This is the worst Haiku I have ever seen... Just the question mark. Haikus cant end up in question marks, right? Not 100% on punctuation. But it needs three lines, with five syllables in the first, seven in the second, and five in the last. Also needs to include a reference to the season or nature. |

you post on Twitter (or other Social Media) that it’s your game day and you’re “fired up to play someone else”.

Are you allowed to do that if you haven’t spent the off-season posting videos of your strongest players lifting while the rest of your team huddles around them and goes ape$hit? I thought that was a rule. Maybe it’s just a tradition. #embracethegrind |
