Two whistles?  Head set with no one on top. That is amazing. I once coached against a guy in the playoffs that would wear a pair of Raybans over his normal pair of glasses. Was odd as hell. Was it during the day? If so, at least he is practical. Ha. Practical, but odd. If not, ... |

Practical, but odd. If not, ... Our game was at 1pm, but it was overcast as hell, so, completely unnecessary. They beat us though, so maybe he did know what he was doing. |

I'm still a younger coach at 32, but it blows my mind how hard it is to get other coaches on board with organizational maps and road-mapping, especially with practice plans. So many that I grew up with and work with just go "defense day, offense day, and whatever we need to do day." IMO, this lack of mapping is one of the fastest and easiest ways to forget about fundamentals. One of my biggest gripes is wasted practice time, especially long pauses for water breaks or just talking/standing around. I see higher-level college and NFL programs doing these with great efficiency, and while I don't expect lower levels to be that organized, some kind of mapping or practice planning should be utilized. Our HC for our team would like to have interns for our program (though we wouldn't be able to pay them), and I've expressed to have one to be a quality control coach/intern...one who blows the whistle to stop/start each session of practice, or to make sure we aren't wasting time (I even suggested it could be a random friend/partner of the staff or team who wants to be involved). Give them a practice plan, and blow a whistle when it's time for the next session. I got quite a lot of resistance for it. We had a female student who took on a quality control type role for us one year. It was awesome. Like you said she blew the horn between sessions which was great because it kept me from getting 1 more rep of bucksweep and she also set up and took down drills so they were ready at the right times, set up cameras, got the scout books and scout jerseys ready for us, kept track of how many reps we were getting in various sessions, etc. She basically took on all the non football functions of running practice. She was also really fun to have around and, importantly, was mature enough to know how to not become a distraction. |
