What seems standard to you now, that isn't to others?

Coincidentally, the single thing I see most being added to schedules around here (which was discussed earlier in this thread): watching practice films. 

Whereas it used to be:
- Strength/speed training 1 hour
- Meeting & Install 30 Min
- Field Work (indy + team) 90 min
For a three hour practice, now they add on an hour of watching practice film to make it four.  

Yup pretty much. You might have a special group of players from some years, or at least 1 or 2 every year that can benefit from it and actually care, otherwise, I agree

We wear our jerseys to school on game days. I'm talking more about how they dress during practice and at games. Dudes are now wearing pajama pants to 7 on 7s. I'm not saying their bad for it, I just don't like it. 

If you are spending an hour and there is one coach talking to one kid at a time in a room full of 8 coaches and 75 players, film is useless.

If you send kids notes, the can watch in 5-10 minutes and have a quick dialogue about, it’s absolute game changer as an improvement tool.

i guess i should clarify, 
there IS benefit to showing kids single play clips with detailed notes, or mixed film/field periods. 

there is NO benefit to having kids "watch" film in like a group session. 

notes should be specific, and focused instructions which you cannot give in a group session with any benefits coming from it.

I think that falls right in line with this thread… who is bringing in the whole ________ ( team, offense/defense etc) and watching film together?

I would think that breaking up and watching by position groups would be “standard”. I realize this is not possible in all places.

Detail is really important.

Make sure you are putting position specific corrections and praises.

“Good play” or “have to be better” doesn’t get anyone better.

“Look at your eyes. You are supposed to be reading #2 receiver here and you are looking at the QB” or “great job here using a violent rip and being unblockable and not getting expanded so you can get in leverage on the ball carrier” type comments will help kids see what you want and speak the same language as you.

Watched a coach on film coaching without his shirt on this year. Was fukin incredible

I’ve shockingly not seen this guy in my 20 years.

We had a young guy last year that fit every single cliche of over doing it:
Backward Visor to bucket hat once the sung came out
Tights under shorts
Marker tied to waist line
Call sheet tied to waist line as well
Two whistles
Head sets with no one up top
Carrier around two water bottles giving water squirts to players on both team

This was all on same day during 7 on 7

Biggest douche in my 20 years of coaching.

I tried. I mean I really tried to not say anything to him. But then he tried to coach up one of my DBs and I had to kindly ask him not to do that again. Which he did. So then I had to not kindly ask him to do it again. Then he did it again and I had to let the head coach that his receivers coach could coach the defense or myself and the defensive coaches could but the next time that guy talked to defensive players, we were out on the defensive side.

Terrible situation. And I knew it was coming cause he dressed the part.

Two whistles?

Head set with no one on top.

That is amazing.

I couldnt do that and take it seriously 😄

Which is worse - having head set on during 7-on-7 with somebody on top, or nobody up there?

i.e. you feel you have to win 7-on-7 so bad you have to have a guy in Press Box, or just look like it?

That’s satire!

There’s a lot of dudes that do it and aren’t joking. People still laugh at them though.

Thanks guys...i needed a few laughs.

I love filming OL Indy and inside period from EZ view. 1st steps and head placement is everything.
