Blessed to receive an offer from Knox College!

This kind of statement concerns me, as it shows how much we need to educate decision-makers about the important role coaches play in society.

one will hear coach or colleague shouting instructions to a competitor to correct faulty technique during rapid movements. This is little more than useless because it is not possible consciously to change the course of any movement which lasts less than 0.4 second (Thomas, 1970)

The weight room is the most influential room in a school. It’s not a place to hang out — it’s a classroom. A place where habits are built, standards are set, and character is developed.

The whole “playing under the chute” thing has proven to be really outdated. It’s more about “leverage” rather than playing “low”. And honestly just accelerating in run game is something many coaches struggle to get their athletes to do. The way many coaches teach “steps” and “gaining ground with your first step” can force a OL to actually decelerate rather than accelerate. Because they are just stepping, and not moving their midline. The goal should be driving in the exact opposite direction they want to move (laws of physics, that’s the most efficient way to move). I think many OL coaches would see more result if they think from a movement standpoint point of teaching, rather than trying to segment everything. Makes you a lot more robotic vs just being an athlete

There will be signs in the off season that a team has not bought in to a culture. Late to warm ups. Warm ups look sloppy. No obvious leader. Goofing off. Someone yelling shut up! Improper clothes and shoes. IMO, the culture is clear 5 min before warmup.

5: You need a supportive spouse. This should be #1 on the list for many! Coaching can put a strain on your family Having a spouse who understands and supports your passion is CRITICAL. Make sure to take the time to show your appreciation and give back whenever possible.

ELITE! All wideouts should learn how to keep their body inside, while catching the football over their outside shoulder. Catching the football while keeping your body between the defender and the ball is a skill that needs to be repped.

Every OL coach should be doing this in my opinion. The more exposure to this the better off your student athletes will be. Hip mobility is one of if not the most important aspects of being an offensive lineman.

I’ve been at programs where there was no playbook, no install drawn up on HUDL, & no presentation. The install was on a white board then we walked thru, and the kids executed. I’ve also been at programs where we had a playbook, every install drawn up on HUDL, and full scouting report was presented with amazing graphics & opponent screenshots. What did I learn doing it both ways? Players make plays & coaches don’t. We facilitate, educate, & motivate.

EDD for us. Great drill to get a lot done in a short time.

“I think your job as a coach is to create an environment where your players have an opportunity to be successful and then get out of their way. We’re in the solution business. If you’re a really good football coach, you are really good at solving problems” - Chip Kelly

High School Program: Think Like a College Strength conditioning, skill development, sports psychology, mental health support, and college placement strategies. Run your program with the professionalism & rigor of a college athletics department. Results will come Be creative!

Use to script first 5-6 touches. Every player got a touch at their best thing Billy gets a bubble screen. Tommy gets a north/south power. Johnny gets a go ball Had to create best look. Every gets touch, everyone gets popped/butterflies out Naturally diverse

presnap alignment gives you a picture, post snap jobs tell the story. Need to chart even and odd space if you want the full picture. 4-3 can easily become odd space 3-4 can easily become even space

HS Coaches: Please find someone who is dedicated to filming your games. Some of the film being shared is terrible. Bad film = missed evaluations. That might be the reason your athletes aren’t being recruited.

Standards don’t slip overnight. They erode when complacency is allowed to live. Culture is built daily. #BrevardFootball #NoComplacency #StandardTheStandard #LockerRoomCulture

@coachcodutti I think you have to take a real interest in your kids outside of football. And then facilitate the same for the kid-kid relationships. You also have to be willing to have REAL conversations w your kids. And allow them to have a voice in your program to create ownership

If your coach is having to beg you to workout in the offseason, you’ll find yourself begging for playing time during the regular season. #BelieveOrLeave #BeTheStandard
