One thing several of the Patriots interviewed after the game last night talked about was mental toughness. I know what we do to try to work on this in the off season. Just wondering what some of you guys are doing to work towards this.

Dang...that sucks. At my place if there is something like that you are excused if you are in season. That's for all sports. Matter of fact I attended my first meeting this school year after school yesterday...

Coach-that is a good idea. And thats what I'd do, but I'm not the HC so not my call. This year he said they dont have to lift bc we didnt lift on game day. Now we wont stop them from lifting if they want to. But thinking of doing something like this next year on our game days so they do the same later on.

You gotta share, almost no way around it. We are lucky that we have most of our kids in wt. lifting class during the day. We dont make multi sport kids lift on game days because we dont lift on game days. Thinking about changing that next year we will see. It stinks cause we play 2 basketball games and 1-2 wrestling matches a week right now. So some Tuesdays and Fridays almost half of our 1st period class is sitting out. Baseball is not a real big problem for us as we dont have many kids who play baseball as well.

IDK if its a whos who or what, but here is a short list of famous posters who I always read their posts. So in no particular order..... DCOhio-Great overall views of defense and life in general. Almost like a southerner trapped in Ohio CoachWoodall-always enlighting about play in the back end of the D which is one and my weaknesses and seems to have a good one liner regularly. Coach Huey-Hey, the guy founded his on website, you know he has to be freakin smart.

You can make anything a competition. When you are doing speed and agility drills like pro shuttle match them up with like speed and encourage them to win their group. Make the losers do 10 pushups. You can do Olympics once every now and again and have them divide up into teams and compete in whatever you wanna come up with, jump rope, tire throws, sled pushes, relay races etc... As others have mentioned-tug of war, buddy carries, whatever. Dips competition, bench press for reps at the end of a chest workout, anything can be a competition that you can think of.

Just read where many state associations would not agree to it and some other teams turned down invitations.

One thing I heard on Huey a few years ago, that CoachWoodall reminded me of......it comes down to this.....its not about the quantity of time, its about the QUALITY of time.

Working hard does not come with a promise of playing time, it gives you the opportunity to earn playing time if that hard work makes you the best at that position. That being said, find something they can do to help the time, run down on kickoff, pass rush specialist etc...

As a DC I felt like we did a good job preparing our kids for what we had seen. What I want to improve on is our ability to adjust when our opponent is running something we had not seen. I think that comes down to getting better at fundamentals. Also would like to improve our ability to get a stop after a turnover that puts us in a short field.

Not really on topic, but I really agree with your young guys getting reps in playoff practices helping develop them for the future. They may be running someone elses offense or defense, but a reach block is a reach block and squeezing a down block is squeezing a down block. To me this is very important to developing a program not a team. That is one of my worries right now as we missed the playoffs for the first time in a number of years this year and will rely on several young linemen next season. Especially since NC has restricted the amount of time we can work with them this spring.

I believe in what was just said. They need to see you as a person and they need to know that you care about them outside of football. Since we are now discussing records, we were 4-6 this year but had 4 consecutive 10 win seasons prior to that. I am the DC not a HC.

This does not relate directly to laughing and joking with your players, but I think its good for your players to see how you are as a person and a man. I want my players to see how I approach football, how I approach work, but I also want them to see me laugh and joke and relax, I want them to see how I am as a father and a husband as well. I want this to be an example for them because for alot of them this is the only example of a male role model that they really have.

Yeah. If I like them especially. Like DC said it's who I am. I talk some crap to them at times as well. I try to teach them that there is a time for work and a time to have fun. When it's time to work shut the heck up and let's get it done. If not let's laugh and joke.

My stipend for the season this year was $2785 taxes at 40 percent. We get a 10 percent bonus for each week we are in the playoffs.

Who won the big one this year? We all know dcohio has been celebrating for the last 3 days. I am also pretty sure coachwoodall's team got it done in SC this weekend. Who else got the hardware? Congrats to you guys.

Our conference by-laws say that we are suppossed to trade ALL PREVIOUS GAMES. Now most teams just agree to exchange 2-3, but we do trade all with our biggest rivals and they made a point at our end of year meeting that we start trading everything and following the by law.

So you are allowed to practice on Sunday? That would never happen here in NC. When I was thinking about it I didnt count that in the prep days

My question is how do you have time to game plan, prepare for, and practice for you playoff opponents in such a short turnaround. I thought it was bad this year when our game got postponed till Monday and we had to play again on Friday.

I dont know much about the academic part area, which may be more what you are looking for. But low numbers and inferior athletes seems to be part of your problem. My first thought in how to start to overcome that whether you are at a high academic school or not is to slow the game down. Have a run first mentality, wing T, option, double wing type stuff and limit the number of snaps in the game and keep your defense off the field.
