crossfit is excellent for fat loss NOT for strength or athletic performance
no one cares how fast you can clean a light weight... woo hoo you can clean a whole 135 lbs 30x in 2 minutes? go kick rocks
the strong @ss dudes on tv on crossfit games do a CRAP TON of HEAVY Oly and power lifts... they dont just do the WODS and go home

I've done several things with a step per whistle and then just speeding it up. I've always thought it helps with good muscle memory and instincts. I used to do a lot per whistle but went away from it An old coach I respect very much explained the theory behind it The whistle ends every play, tells OL to stop blocking... You never start on a whistle in football so stop using that sound to start drills Use cadence, and cues/buzzwords to reinforce what you want and always use the whistle to END the drill (like ending the play) It made sense to me so I switched to doing it that way Just throwing the idea out there; do what works for you

I'd be concerned about players having facial injuries without helmets on. this is what has stopped me from working pass pro drills with no helmet i have seen some colleges work pass pro drills in just shoulder pads, really force the OL not to lunge but to sit back, get the head back but i think society is probably too lawsuit happy for us HS level guys to get away with this drill

I'd love to do that BUT........Unless it is accepted by enough people, you risk losing your job. Why? If you practiced one day without helmets why would that threaten your job? as is now many teams do not tackle to the ground at all in practice through the season, im sure there is still much you can do one day without helmets and still be productive We don't tackle to the ground at all in season

Start practice with a 5 minute tempo session Or some sort of competition Gets the energy flowing
For games I like to warm up like our practice We go through a few mins each of all of our EDDs (OL)

Suppose my reading comprehension needs work then, I wrongly interpreted football losing it's luster due to spread, boring spread, wanting to watch anything but spread, over done spread mania, teams going downhill since going spread, flopping WRs, bad QBs throwing for a bunch of yards when the poor RBs aren't getting enough carries etc as being comments directed at how much people don't like the spread.... if people are getting tired of the spread, they should go watch other teams. SDSU Nebraska Michigan stanford The Academies G Tech hell SDSU had 2 backs go over 1000 yards this year. exactly Stanford is my favorite team to watch and not just because they are local You really dont see a ton of college spread teams who want to throw it 75x a game if you watch closely (especially the schools with mobile QBs) do some cool things that are not "finesse" the other day Clemson ran Down with their QB TE/T down blocked, PSG kicked a wide DE RB led through QB just caught the snap and took off, not wing t but a prominent wing t blocking scheme tweaked to fit their best player

I liked a play that Notre Dame ran. It looked like power read. But instead of the qb being the dive phase he shoveled it to the tight end underneath. It appears at 1:24:15 Damn! I came up with that same idea for a play two weeks ago watching a different bowl game! I thought I had finally created a new idea and here Notre Dame comes running it! Maybe that means it is a decent play, especially without a good running QB. coach grabowski wrote about this play on his blog a year or two ago the idea was being able to run power read without a mobile QB, or without wanting to bang your QB up so you use the shovel to replace the dive phase same read, really cool play

kid 2- our JV RB last year, if stats JV HC gave me are accurate his yards/carry as just as explosive and in his limited varsity carries (4 carries for just over 100 yards) he proved to be EXPLOSIVE. Track star kid that can score a TD any time he gets a crease) You needed metrics to tell you that a kid who averaged 25 yds. per rush has a chance to be good? no i knew he was good/explosive/fast just watching him at practice i know he can go to the house any time he touches the ball the fact that he averaged 25 yards a carry in his 4 varsity touches validated yeah he's good my description above was more thinking out loud making a moneyball/statistical analysis comparison to my real life team

i 100% get what you are saying i was just adding a little humor i think you see this a lot when replacing players after graduation and little changes in emphasis/focus in an offense for example you might graduate a superstar RB you are NEVER going to replace that kid, so you make up for the production in other areas in the movie moneyball they could never replace a jason giambi 38 homer, 120 RBI kind of guy... so they made up for him in other areas to put it back into a real life example for my team we graduate a playmaker... he played WR/RB/wing for us... very dynamic athlete that was the 2nd best player on our team (besides the kid going to bama) i am not going to find a kid who could do what he could do in both his skill sets (equally good at WR, RB, blocking and rushing from our wing set) but i can replicate his numbers through multiple players i have a kid who can be as good as him as a WR, another who can be as explosive as a RB, and another who can block as good as him those 3 kids (who i have already identified) need to as a whole contribute as much or more to our offense as the graduating senior did #moneyball how did you go about identifying those 3 players? ah i knew i would get called out on that i could tell you just from observation that they have the skills to be as good, but looking further into data Kid 1 - backup WR on varsity this year, his yards per target were about the same just didnt throw it to him a ton last year kid 2- our JV RB last year, if stats JV HC gave me are accurate his yards/carry as just as explosive and in his limited varsity carries (4 carries for just over 100 yards) he proved to be EXPLOSIVE. Track star kid that can score a TD any time he gets a crease) kid 3 -wing - one of our backup RBs last year on varsity, good ypc in the touches he got, not the speed homerun threat, but more than capable of churning out 1st downs and a VERY physical/willing blocker... this one is a little more gut based than number based, i do not know how to put a really good quantitative value on blocking but judging from observation he is a very strong kid who has shown the ability to block at the varsity level as well as run the ball with some success) so it is a mix of my observation of what they have done, what they have shown the ability to do, with a dash of statistical analysis thrown in to verify that yeah they should be able to produce (i hope)

i think we are about to spin this thread off into a "Moneyball" thread I can see that and not my intention. We're all looking to get something out of this data. My point is that some people get this data in different ways, not so mathematically deliberate, and can come up with the same conclusion Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using proboards i 100% get what you are saying i was just adding a little humor i think you see this a lot when replacing players after graduation and little changes in emphasis/focus in an offense for example you might graduate a superstar RB you are NEVER going to replace that kid, so you make up for the production in other areas in the movie moneyball they could never replace a jason giambi 38 homer, 120 RBI kind of guy... so they made up for him in other areas to put it back into a real life example for my team we graduate a playmaker... he played WR/RB/wing for us... very dynamic athlete that was the 2nd best player on our team (besides the kid going to bama) i am not going to find a kid who could do what he could do in both his skill sets (equally good at WR, RB, blocking and rushing from our wing set) but i can replicate his numbers through multiple players i have a kid who can be as good as him as a WR, another who can be as explosive as a RB, and another who can block as good as him those 3 kids (who i have already identified) need to as a whole contribute as much or more to our offense as the graduating senior did #moneyball

I think my view of metrics differs from some of you because I'm a baseball guy. To me metrics is using several different stats, coming up with a formula that makes that final number usable for a purpose. A common example is OPS (On Base % + Slugging). So in football I consider metrics along the lines of a stat like QB rating, but somehow coming up with a RB raiting, or Oline rating using mitiple stats into a formula to come up with 1 number. i think we are about to spin this thread off into a "Moneyball" thread

this was the first year i tagged every snap of the season on hudl i have run a lot of reports to see what worked best for us and to validate the things we are doing offensively
i know that overall our offense worked well, maxpreps stats tell me we were first in our section in scoring, rushing, and total yards per game i know we broke every school scoring, rushing, and total yard record
but looking further into the data and using hudl to do all the real number crunching i learned some things we were explosive as heck! more points than plays this season, and we scored a TD every 7 snaps
looking further into actual play and formation data i can compare play results to see exactly which plays gave us the best yards per carry we were better at counter and bucksweep than our regular 2 back power
i also found that anytime we were in a formation with at least 1 wing our yards per carry increased i also found that our yards per play on some of our deep shots was good, our percent of explosive plays on deep shots was higher than i realized
so i know i need to look back and see what made our 2 back power not work as well... was it our mistakes or was it just defensive alignment/assignment to overload our Fb side, and that is why our counter averaged so much more YPC
i know that we need to install and work our wing plays earlier, and use that more often... it became a big addition to our offense as the year progressed. I know i need to call more of our wing counter (averaged 13 ypc, our highest ) and a couple more shots a game wouldnt hurt
now i am looking at metrics from an assessment perspective, not a "goal setting" perspective

imo that is a CRAP TON of team time compared to indy time
i plan every practice out, so i get to control the times and get whatever i want, but i just think having more team time than indy time leads to a lack of focus on doing the little things right.
i coach our OL... i want them to live in indy, embrace the monotony of being an OL and get better at blocking
you are a teacher look at it in an educational setting
your indy time is like the lesson plan, classwork, workbooks, and homework... it is designed to improve your skills with the material
group (7on7/inside run) is like a small quiz, seeing if you can apply what you learned in indy on a slightly bigger scale
team time is like a test - you don't learn by taking tests, the tests tell you, and more importantly, tell the teacher/coach if what/how they are teaching is working. Assessment informs the instructor if it is working or not
and finally a game is like the final exam
as far as our own practices go, we like to split time up more so we get to do some O and D each day. I would rather touch on O for less time but DAILY than get a ton of time one day and be done with it.... I think they can only focus their attention so long at one task so the more ways you break up practice the better. For example on an O emphasis day Offense would get an hour of time, and defense would get 45 mins
a typical in season week would be monday - lift, film, chalk, walk thru/gameplan even time for O and D tues - lift, then to field O emphasis (O gets a little more time than D) wed - D emphasis (D gets a little more time than O) thurs - run thru practice (full gear)
we tend to lump ST into a couple a day towards the end of practice, but in a perfect world i think you mix them up into practice throughout it. Sometimes we will put it as the buffer between O time and D time
we screw around too much on the sideline during ST, next year I am going to use that time to work 1on1 pass pro for the OL as much as possible. Typically fat kids are only on FG team... so KO, KOR, Punt, while the more athletic guys are working i can take those 15 or so guys off the sideline so they are not screwing around and work a pass pro period with them
coach you are gonna get a million answers and everyone has their way that works for them. These are just some of my thoughts and what i feel works best for us. Before i was the OC we used to do a TON of team... each year since i took over the O we have done less and less team on O, and more focus on indy time and the last 2 years have really paid off. The quality of our OL play in particular has drastically improved, we physically move people out of the way that we shouldnt be able to. My Ol this year was the island of misfit toys... 5 kids who never started a game before LT - a kid who was too physically weak to get on the field as a junior LG - small, not too athletic, not strong at all, but smart C - same as LG RG - same as above and hadnt played football in 3 years RT - backup on frosh, back up on JV, big kid but was always "too soft", i had to talk him and his mom into him coming out to play as a junior, ended up playing every snap of the season I Never wouldve thought in spring ball 3 of the above kids wouldve been more than backups but they CONTINUED to improve throughout the summer and in the season and i think the repetitive nature of our INDY time played a big role in their improvement
sorry that was a rambling, wordy, borderline incoherent post

We have the talent to play for the state championship next year, i truly believe that my biggest worry is i do not know if all of our kids will put in the work necessary to take our team to that next level
my christmas wish would be, for every kid on our team to work as hard as our best player if everyone worked even 75% as hard as he does, we would never lose a game

You can fit more than 5 in a Chevy suburban You've seen more than your fair share of Tahoes at the Yoc, brudda. i played with some awesome poly dudes, and have coached some awesome poly kids they're a tight knit, family/faith first community but i have observed one thing every poly family owns at least one of the following -suburban -tahoe -explorer -expedition -yukon poly families, single handedly keeping the SUV business alive despite current gas prices

I'm wondering if there will be a flirtation with a whole new league, (much like the WFL experiment) which makes a season of 7 on 7? Its already a big deal in some places...playoffs, championships and the like. I think you're on the right track here Everyone will be so scared of concussions that spring 7on7 will be the norm and everyone will be walking around in guardian caps 24/7

definitely going to look into this we need all the fundraising we can get our usual biggest fundraiser (my team camp) might get the axe from our section so we need a new way to replace that money Is that an NCS issue only? We do team camps that line up with the CIF rules on contact, etc. we did a "control" camp last summer, it worked perfect, all teams did a great job of getting some reps but staying super safe there were issues with other camps that pretty much went full bore (in our section, and in SJS) we received an email a couple weeks ago from NCS where we got to vote on a proposed rule... they will consider what the schools want but in the end the NCS board this spring will set one of the following policies 1. control camps same as this year, strict rules about policy and tempo 2. Camps can be in shorts and helmets only 3. camps can be in shorts and cleats only 4. no team camps at all now NCS did vote in a "contact period" last summer, where from July 22nd we could do full contact 2x a week, 90 minutes... as that falls in with the CA state law saying you can begin going full contact 30 days prior to the start of your season (July 22 was 30 days prior to our first date we can scrimmage) so if they keep that technically i could run my camp the last week of July as long as it is just 2 days and 90 minutes max a day that was a long response lol, essentially it is a maybe NCS issue, depending on how they vote

we do something with eteamsponsor.com/a local coach/friend started the company a few years ago and many schools in our area use it with pretty good success its like the old school begger letter but they send it out through people's emails and you can share the link to your school page all over twitter/facebook they take a portion of the money, but they do all the work, even come in and have a guy who shows the kids how to set it up he came in, i had our teams meet in the computer lab (freshman first, JV came 30 minutes later, Varsity came 30 minutes after that) and got their accounts all set up, and kids started adding emails they had collected from their parents, and copying pasting the link all over social media all i had to do was put our roster in hudl ... which we do any way (they use the roster export to get the player's name and email info to create their account) we made a little over 3k off of it i believe and it was not much work
